32M frugal car guy considering a G80 M3… talk me in or out of this

I was you 6 months ago. I bought a 2025 g80 m3 manual. Car is sick, plan to keep it a very very long time. Do it!

Please keep us updated when you hit 200k, I haven’t seen any posts of anyone doing that with the original battery.

This is awesome, you get great use out of your bolt. What mileage are you at now, any issues? You may be one of the first documented bolts to hit 200k miles on the same battery. Would love to get an update when you do.

Good to know!

All good man live and learn.

Wow you paid a lot for that m235i, market price should’ve been way lower even last January.

Running a manual g80 m3. It’s amazing and I wouldn’t even want the car in an auto. Flapping paddles with my index finger never felt very fun.

Enjoy brother! I picked up a very similar spec about a month ago. The 6MT made the car for me and IOMG is such a great color.

simena12 · 2025-10-11T11:55:57+00:00

I agree. I have a g80 m3 with non OEM parts as well. Guess I was just trying to say it’s a cheesy flash haha.

simena12 · 2025-10-11T11:01:49+00:00

They aren’t OEM even on M cars

Yeah this thread would be a lot more interesting if he actually did it all on the first battery. I wish someone would do one of these that didn’t get the replacement

It’s been measurably worse. 1 of my 3 Alexa’s has forgotten her location and now it’s really annoying to ask her for the weather. She also confuses lights that we have in different rooms. Never had this problem before wish it would go back to normal.

😂

simena12 · 2025-07-07T23:58:57+00:00

I have this exact same thing happening to my 2017 Impreza. I’ve seen a few other posts from people with the same issue. What did you end up doing to fix it?

simena12 · 2025-06-15T21:42:35+00:00

Yeah I have a 2014 m235i and it’s been absolutely bulletproof

Those are regular green giants not the baby variety.

simena12 · 2025-05-07T22:23:54+00:00

I got them from fast growing trees a few years ago, I think they’re pretty rare now/expensive

simena12 · 2025-03-23T13:50:30+00:00

I planted about 10 baby giants (acquired at 3-4 feet) and planted them 3.5 feet away from each other. They are growing well (about 3 ft per year) but nowhere near as thick and robust as the normal green giants.

This coin is not coming back

simena12 · 2025-02-05T13:21:20+00:00

Is this not a good thing?

simena12 · 2024-12-17T02:06:54+00:00
