The F80 BMW M3 sits way below all other M3 versions we ever had in our midst. When you compare it against the E46 M3 and even the E90 M3, it fails to embody the M3 standard. However, it is good looking. The F80 M3 was and still looks way better than any other sport sedan. With the new M3, a photo comparison of G80 M3 and F80 M3 reveals which looks better.
Of course, the G80-generation M3 performs way much better than the F80. With the latest engines and technologies, G80 M3 shows a more dynamic performance than F80. However, comparing their looks, the G80 significantly falls behind the handsome F80.
Starting off with the polarizing grille, the new design unnecessarily dominates the whole front end. It looks too big and out of place. But looking back at the F80 M3, the normal sized grille fits just right. The front end of this car appears well balanced and not overly made.
The sides of these M3 presents another point of comparison. Significantly, the F80 has a more muscular shoulder line. The emphasized fender flares made the F80 look more aggressive and powerful. On the other hand, the new G80 M3 looks smoother and sleeker. It surely appears sporty but not muscular enough, and M cars are known for their muscularity.
Out at the rear side, the F80 wears a more distinct L-shaped taillights as compared to that of the G80. Nevertheless, the cabin of G80 definitely has the upperhand. With the latest technology and better seats, the G80 outshines the good-looking cabin of F80.
However, this photo comparison of G80 M3 and F80 M3 reveals which really looks better and that would be the F80. Nonetheless, we can have different perspectives on this, look at the pictures again, and judge it for yourself.
