New vid of G80 testing
I think it sounds very good. Looks flat in the corners as well....
I want to be excited, but insiders declaring manual may not be an option has killed all excitement. BMW please refute this claim.... Vid |

I recently spent a good bit of time with an M chassis engineer in Germany. While he was pretty tight-lipped about the G80, I kept asking about the manual version, to which he finally said "I don't see why they wouldn't" with a bit of a smile, so I'm hopeful that this indicates there will be one. Not much to go on, but I'll take it.

No manual transmission M3 would be a blow to the entire M brand and enthusiast image. Talk about the last straw.

Whats going on with that gear change at 1:45?? Thats no crisp shift. Also interesting how the car with the tail lights uncovered is a lot more raspy and loud than the one with them still covered. |

I don't know how I missed this update, but that's some good news. One of my biggest complaints from the F80 seats is the inability to place proper harnesses. Even the E90 seats had this function. Too little too late for me, as I think the M3 is too big now for a proper track car. Good news for those who want a dual purpose car in the G80 though!

I think I am moving towards a more focused car like the GT4. Unfortunately, despite a similar MSRP to my current M3 CS, and probably very little discounts, the lease is not going to be nearly as affordable. Cayman S or GTS is closer in actual running expenses to the F80.

The price point doesn't effect me so I am fortunate to go much higher then the G80 price.

Well shoot. I guess it's time to look for a lightly used F80 M3. With my luck though, as soon as I find a nice one, they'll release a manual G80.

If you want BMW Manual- better hurry and order the M4 or M2.
Otherwise Porsche or American pony cars are ready to take your $$$$$. I need to find E92 6mt - it will be shooting up in price over next few years. |
