As I stated previously, the common denominator of each M3(4) generation has been a dual use car: a practical daily driver and track toy. With the F8X, Albert Biermann as the head of BMW ///M Engineering gave us the best one to date. Sadly, he left BMW because he did not like the direction ///M was taking. I am still hoping the G8X will fulfill my needs, but the preliminary info is not encouraging, with many of the key differentiators that made ///M superior to its competition gone.

I have the greatest respect for you but I think the loss of the DCT make you way to pessimistic about the G8X. I’m looking forward to see what you think once we can get our hands on these.
