Thank you for the MT confirmation. edit @ 21:17 hours: I didn't notice that the OP was from Spain, so disregard the legal argument within my post. I still think he's associated with BMW however. |

I also don't understand the skepticism being shown here. I think that you need to give everyone's posts the benefit of doubt, but a lot of people here are condemning the OP for no other reason that he didn't take the pictures that they thought he should take. You weren't there! You don't know that you would have done any better! What does the OP have to gain, bragging rights on some anonymous car forum with a few thousand subscribers? Big frickin' deal! Some people are way too paranoid and skeptical. Please, take off the tin foil hat. Probably a sign of our times that everything is seen as "fake news".

My tinfoil hat tells me the below from following the M3 saga and the insider info posted (I could be wildly off base... but hey, conspiracy theories are fun)
-bmw has a good idea of where ynguldyn gets his information and implicitly allows it for the most part to keep enthusiasts in the know about future plans (aka the ppl who would be most upset if they didn't wait an extra model year, 6 months, etc) -BMW felt too much information was leaking about the M3 and reacted by obfuscating plus pulled out info in their system on the M3 to hide what was going on (ynguldyn notes they pulled out a lot of his key info) -instead of everyone adopting "aw shucks, guess we have to wait and see" this gets misinterpreted as " I can't definitely confirm a manual, that means no manuals" -bmw scrambles to get the info back out there the manual is coming (within a week you have direct quote from head of M and then follow up with pictures of the clutch in a test mule) Just sayin.....

As to the story, I don’t really care....It could be legit or a leak.
OP, thanks for the pic it made me smile, three pedals is a virtue that can never be overstated, it is majestic and wonderful. Long live the manual!! Carry on.... |

The F8X LCI wheel was perfect imo. Best wheel design for BMW since the MTech I E30/E36 days.

Audi has got a flat bottom steering wheel, But ... «badass»? The Last BMW M steering wheel was great, a little cheap, but the new one doesn't look sporty enough and has to many buttons, making it messy. So is the cloded light layout, not as intuitive as past generations. I understand that with more features you need something to control it with, but BMW need to look to Apple to make it more simple and elegant.

Plenty for sale in the classifieds and I am sure a G80 Wheel would bring a pretty good price in return. |

Wheels are round. If these keep changing we will have to call them steering input devices. 😉
Nice pics. Hope to see one soon. |
