Why the BMW F80 M3 Is Still a Fan Favorite

The BMW F80 M3, produced from 2014 to 2018, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts—and for good reason.

This was the first M3 to feature a turbocharged engine, ditching the old V8 for a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6 (the S55). The result? 425+ horsepower, lightning-fast response, and endless tuning potential. Whether you're hitting the track or daily driving, the F80 delivers serious performance with a raw edge.

Beyond the numbers, the F80 M3 is known for its aggressive design, wide stance, and unmistakable presence on the road. Combine that with a manual transmission option and you’ve got a modern classic that blends power, control, and emotion.

At Bimmer Plug, we know how much owners love to make their F80s stand out. That’s why we offer a full range of carbon fiber upgrades, custom lighting, and performance parts to take your M3 to the next level.
