The excellent dual clutch was one of the best things the M3, M4 had going for it. I'll pass on an automatic. I don't care how good the ZF or whatever is. |

From the Digital magazine, here's a higher resolution render plus article...
By the way "Pure" is already used here in Australia for pared-down versions of M cars, eg M2 Pure...

Those HP numbers with regards to the competition in the segment aren't going to get it done unless it goes on a massive diet.

I’d like to see the new G80/82/83 with BMW’s 4.4L V8 rather then a possible water injected engine from the GTS with between 450-475HP. Who wants to add distilled water every couple of fill ups? When Mercedes-AMG C63S gets redone, which is already a little past 500HP, I’m sure it’s going to get a significant bump in HP. In the end the new G80 will be just as quick as the AMG despite it all. I’ll take mine in RWD please.

I'm with you there, 6MT or DCT but not a torque converter. I just hope the 6MT is competition spec or whatever - a more hardcore version than the entry 8AT version.

Arghh this style of render pisses me off! Lets take the normal car and add in random recent M wheels and some other random styling cues (F80 rear arches) and call it a render. There is about a 1000% chance the G80 M3 won't have the F90 M5 Comp Pack wheels.

There is a market for AWD/6MT sedan.
BMW should do a 6MT in the non-pure models, IMO. I like the direction they are taking. Hoping (Pure) has 18” and 19” wheel options. No adaptive suspension. |

Going this route doesn't widen the gap in the segment. Mercedes and the like can easily surpass this in their next iterations. Who knows maybe I'm wrong, but this last generation was a toss up for those looking at the competition.

At any rate, BMW is not putting a V8 in the M3 ever again, and neither is anyone else in this class. Quote:
There is also a good chance that some form of AWD is offered for the next C class AMG as well, not just because of the fact that the M3 is strongly rumored to get AWD, but because the Tesla Model 3 Performance also cannot be ignored either. So, Mercedes will probably have the same weight management challenges as BMW will. And we already know who has won that battle in the past. |

A used CPO Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS will become even more interesting as the M3/4 prices continu climbing.

Hmmm sounds like bmw just needs to start building e90s in 6 speed again.. no need to build a whole car around it..

ZF auto is good but it's not a DCT and it still drives like an auto.
6MT for me or M2C with a 6 speed. It's such a shame because their DCT was so damn good. |

Seems like some negative comments in this thread, but I would definitely be interested in this version ("Pure") of G80 and it would likely keep me from switching to an M2.
All the luxury items are great, but I am more concerned about the driving experience and can forgo amenities to get that. |

Why oh Why can we not get 6MT/M-AWD?
This is the sweet spot that will likely have me pony up to order another one but without giving me that combination new and 480+ out of the box, there's a lot of other used options likely to be begging for my benjamins.

I'll take the Pure RWD only model with the 6MT, with no options besides Wheels and CCB's, provided the exhaust note sounds halfway decent this time around. Then again, I could still be better off with a used 991.1 Carrera 2S with a 6MT at the same price or cheaper.
