Glad the 6MT is confirmed, although like some others with this amount of torque I'd be interested in 6MT + MxDrive. Oh well, I expected this.

Another poster said it, but Chevy/Ford both have manual gearboxes that would laugh at the max output of this S58 motor. We all know the price is going to climb - there will be a higher % of these cresting 6 figures as specced than any prior iteration - there's no reason it can't be done. Especially considering BMW is now trying to give us all 31 flavors we never wanted at the same time, I wouldn't care about a 7-10% premium upcharge to add the MXdrive to a 6MT car. There's a market for it, no matter if it gets built or not.

It sounds like perhaps BMW remains a slave to tradition, and has decided not to debut the G80 until after the G22 does so that the G82 can be shown with it. Apparently even with 30k+ sales on its own the M3 remains handcuffed to the M4. |

The pictures on BMWBlog showed only two exhausts out back. I know that would irritate me. I wonder how many others would be annoyed by that?

I guess I can thank BMW for saving me money by making me not interested in trading my current F80 6MT for the new G80.

Am I the only one who's looking forward to an M4 Gran Coupe? Hope it looks as sleek as the RS5 Sportback or even current 4er GC

I'm excited that they are still offering the manual in the new M3 and not just potentially the M4 like threatened before.
I just hope they let you add options without removing the manual. Executive package - remove manual Blue paint - remove manual etc |

Can't wait for the first guy to put a tune on the manual and blow his transmission.
Plenty of power for stock. Add in some nice suspension bits and lose some weight, I'd drive this. Skipped f8x for a reason.

I love options...
Give me the bloated/autobox/all luxury/max power version. I just want a M5 thats not so damn big. I have friends who would be all over the "Pure" models. WE ALL WIN!!! |

sadly not what I wanted for the new m3, although I get it. easy to try to satisfy everyone, make a mini m5 with the zf8 and awd, and make a 6 speed manual poor version for purists.
I wonder if the car will feel numb like the current m5 and the x5m, and the pure version will be great but underpowered.

I don't know anymore. There are just too many unnecessary variants of the same car and it's just watering down everything. The M3/M4 should consist of two either the base or comp, 6 speed or auto, and RWD or AWD. No need for "pure" versions.. :
