When the head of M says the next M3 will offer a manual transmission, I believe it will have a manual transmission. Thank you, Markus Flasch!

Could be like the GT3. No manual on launch, but added as an option a year or so into production.
Even though Porsche is going the opposite direction with the GT4. Only manual on launch with PDK coming as an option later on. I don't doubt the data provided in the thread because too many of the magazine stories ends up being marketing. This comes from the same guys that claim you can't mount an mperformance lip spoiler without something to "balance" the front end downforce so at the least something changed in their direction. |

Jason Main page title in big letters hints there is going to be no MT and yet there is a post with an interview with BMW M stating there is going to be one.
This is turning into a bit of a mess... |

Yeah I agree. I'm not sure how they've come up with a design like this AGAIN. They had a blank piece of paper to start with this time and they still end up with an unsightly exhaust!

One day I drove next to Porsche 911 Turbo S on highway in mine tuned F90 M5 and I figured let's pull a little and have fun. ( almost empty highway ) And that guy drove below 65 on 70mph limit He was like 70 years old. I bet that he never revs over 3K

What if the manual is only offered on a limited run special edition type car? That would explain the ynguldyn's confusion around the manual option and saying there won't be any manuals and Flasch saying there will be a manual.

Do you all ever think that the older guys have "been there and done that" and have no further interest in a "whose is bigger" contest on the highway? #savethemanuals

Could it mean this?
- M3 Pure is canceled, this mean no MT G80M3 - M4 Pure is still in development, this mean MT G82M4 is possible https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-sho...smissions-awd/ Last edited by Uli_HH; 07-24-2019 at 09:01 AM.. |

Lol I was driving around in a 2020 Carrera S in Germany yesterday. So many pathetic M3s, Golfs etc. challenged me and I just laughed at them and continued strolling at speed limit. I am 32, btw. I'm not going to risk anyone's life on public roads

It's not about being Nostradamus, it's that he has access to future model information. He's not psychically predicting this stuff, he's just repeating what he sees or is being told. So we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
