I plan on testing an M340i as well at the M Town event, and also have a C43 test drive planned on the same day as the dealer is next door and it will give me a good back to back feel of each car.
Wait, there is. It's the m240i with a manual. Isn't a 6mt currently available in the m240i?
But not with 4 doors in a sedan/gran coupe form. There will be an upcoming FWD based 2 series gran coupe, but it won't have an inline 6 and likely won't have a manual.
I was disappointed when I'd heard that the 2gc was going to be fwd or awd with a transverse engine layout. Might as well just go with a civic type r. If anyone can make a fun, compact, fwd, it would be Honda.
True, although I'd probably go for a Golf R, the Civic Type R just screams "Anime Boy Racer"
