uh... isn't that actually more versions per chassis .... 2^3 = 8 with the setup that is rumored.. its base or comp, AWD or RWD. 4 types + pure X manual/auto RWD = 2 more. thats 6 types. |

Why would you wish that on anyone?

As long as we can get the same upgrades (Laser lights, infotainment, interior, etc) as the regular and ZCP models, this is fine by me.
I thought they were letting us pick between 6MT/8AT, RWD/AWD for G80/G82 as per our insider(s)? |

I think it's unlikely we'll ever see an NA straight 6 motor ever again in a new production car. |

My guess is that the badge will look similar to a competition badge but say "pure" or whatever code name they officially use on release.

Not that I've heard but I have not driven one. The 8AT in my old M235i was surprisingly good. Far from a DCT but for a regular series car I didn't really have complaint. So I'm assuming the M-8AT will be a step up.

the only thing a DCT had going for it is " faster" - which is what the 8AT will do as well. |

This is everyone's scenario they were asking for.. 6 speed purist car, and awd options that can handle power with auto. The zf 8 speed and 10 speed is now in every track car like zL1 and vette.. they say it is just as good or faster shifting then any dct... I like the dct but will still want a manual before I get to old to want to drive one anymore. I do think it's funny that everyone wants a v8 Manual.. the e90s are selling for 25k now, go get 3 of them for the price of the new m3

Not sure I would want any more power for my taste. Mcars now have so much power and torque, I personally think this is a non-issue. I will never buy an automatic, so take my viewpoint as an extreme one, possibly. |

bye bye bmw. why force the base engine on us 6MT drivers? i don't care about rwd vs awd but basically forcing an automatic on us to get the higher rated engine is bunk. thank god for GT3s!

All these new variations will make it very hard to find the exact one you want on dealer lots since they stock very few Ms to begin with.
