I live in a harsh winter climate and I'm still only interested in the RWD manual version.

Call me a purist or call me crazy, but that will never change as long as I'm alive and RWD/manual cars are offered. Weather has zero impact on my decision. RWD/manual cars is all we had growing up in Eastern Europe back in the day. Everybody managed just fine. Sure, cars nowadays have a lot more power, but that's why dedicated snows exist.

RWD with proper snow tires > AWD

..cheaper too

Yep. Even if i could get past the looks, I'd hold on to my f-series and wait for an LCI update or something. Isn't that over a 2-year gap? I was at least expecting the G80 to hit next year, and then the G82 a little after.

They will still do it for the f87 m2. But after that?

Half the M2 sales were manual, so I'd say 100% will see a manual in the next M2

I'd actually be interested in an AWD version to deal with the Utah winters.

Will be interesting the upcoming chatter when the G80 competition is AWD only.
That's really the clincher.

I have to pick between drive train preference and transmission preference. Don't make me pick a manual over a better-tuned suspension.

That sucks. The F80s struggles to put power down, I wonder what they'll do to alleviate that.

probably not, but the m5 does offer a rwd only mode. Sadly this mode is only available with dsc off. Would be nice if they had the option to allow rwd with mdm on the g8x auto.

I drive a DCT M3 CS and I hate myself!

Its my first auto and at the time I bought it there wasnt a single manual left unsold in the US 6 months after production ended. I was 25k miles over on my 6mt lease and could not keep it.

I had my dct for 3 months and traded it for a manual.

Sucks that awd won't come with manual, it may be a deciding factor for me to get into something else. The F80s struggle to put power down, I wonder if it'll be better with the g80.

With warm tires and a light foot you can get a good launch on the F80. Trust me, I know, it happened once several years ago....

Just purchased my F80 an hour ago from a 3 year lease and glad I did with that timeframe. I was hoping for a 2020 launch.

You'll see less power on the RWD Manual since its likely to be using the same 6spd as the F80. It has a power limit and they don't want to pay development costs to up that limit just for one car. The 0-60 time will suffer vs awd but I bet its rolling numbers will be similar with less power but less weight as well.

I'm sure they'll offer RWD with auto. Way too big of a market to ignore.

Not sure if they are gone do that sense you can turn off AWD to RWD.
I know it's not ideal but it's there.

I mean, that's great and all; just what I want in fact...but not to sound like "that guy", but my F80 will be 4 years old then, and ready for its second owner...there is no way i'm spending money on a car that looks like that.

Leaning towards NO Auto with RWD.
RWD mode is included on M xDrive system.
