New F80 M3 Sakhir Orange Owner - coming from M4 and Z06

Hey guys! Finally got around to post about my new purchase - a 2017 F80 M3 CP with Sakhir Orange and Black interior!

I had a non-CP YMB 2016 M4 previously and I have been really eager to get into a CP F80 M3 after a stint in a C7 Z06/Z07.

The options on the car are the following:
-DCT
-ZCP
-Executive
-Lighting
-Apple Carplay
-CF roof
-CF mirror
-CF trunk

The car is currently in the garage with my B8 S4. Once the weather is good again, I'll start the mod process!

I'm thinking the following cosmetic mods:
-CF diffuser
-CF front splitter and lip

The car came with front plates already mounted, for the life of me, I hate it. I believe my options are either bumper plugs or getting it filled in.

Some pictures.

Congrats... surprised you were still about to get a 17. Thought they were mostly gone by now.

Used! It was a BMW USA Executive car with 7K miles. Looks, feels, and smells absolutely brand new.

I got it on a smoking deal, lower than the actual trade-in value of the car.

Great looking car. I would go European bumper to eliminate the license plate frame holes and reflectors at once. The one concern that I would have with that though is the color match on Sakhir orange paint... anyway congratulations and enjoy your new car

Love the Sakhir Orange...it’ll look awesome with the carbon fiber you’re thinking about.

Agreed with the color match. I would rather go with filling and painting than a whole new bumper.

I'm thinking if I do a paint correction, the shop should technically be able to fill and paint and put the clear coat on the holes.

Not sure what other solutions are out there besides bumper plugs.

Congrats! It was this exact car that surprisingly (to me) convinced me SO was the way to go. Glad to see it in good hands!

Congrats!

i'm in the same boat. Bought my car used with 7K miles for a killer deal.
Also came with front bumper drilled with FIVE screws!

I bought bumper plugs, plucked them in and cut them to fit the body. I then used touch-up paint to mark them up and now you can barely see them. MUCH MUCH cheaper than anything else out there and will do the trick.

Dont worry about paint correction, film etc... you'll end up getting chips anyways. Enjoy the car! If you were to get PPF it means you're just spending $2K to protect the paint for the next owner...not worth it IMO

The F80 M3 feels much more solid than the M4, fewer jitters. I can't tell the power difference.

The Z06 is a whole other beast. I mean, the power is just insane. Scary though. Really planted in the corners, off throttle, due to the cup 2 tires but you def need to have some brains and balls driving it.

To go a little deeper with the comparison...

What made you want to get out of / away from the Z07?

Would you go back to Chevrolet?
