Have you tried 295s in the rear? I got the Michelin Pilot 4Ss for the back, and 295s on the width, and that has helped me a lot.

I am pretty sure that V10 had 520 NM of torque...certainly not characteristic of a FI motor, but not a dog either.
It is a beast the S85, but it needed alot of RPM to sing, the torque wasn't as instant and imense as S55, had a much better sound than the latter though

I'm wondering about this too...what happened to the 'pure' model that we heard about a month or so back? This article mentions nothing about that.

The 'pure' was allegedly going to be less expensive than the other models. Making it CS would send the price far north?

Or am I missing something here ?

I wonder how many 6MT owners complain about lack of traction. I have never had a big issue, and I suspect that manual clutch operation naturally softens the torque shock to the wheels on upshifts and provides some inherent modulation.

That, and unless you actually drive your DCT actually like a true manual (100% control of gear changes, planning shifts in advance, etc.) there's always at least a little guesswork in matching your throttle modulation to what the transmission will do.

Regardless, DCT and automatic cars are simply not fun on the street to me. I enjoy driving my 230hp ZHP on my commute far more than any automatic car I've ever driven, including my S4 and various other M cars, AMG's, and PDK Porsches. Having a manual keeps you engaged in the process all the time, and clicking off a perfect series of heel/toe downshifts can make even stopping at a stoplight entertaining.

If all you want to do is put your foot down and go fast, buy a Tesla. There are a dozen of other cars out there if you want an AWD automatic that doesn't take any skill to drive. It's akin to wanting a Camry with a big block V8 . . . that's just not what the car should be, and you'd be better off just buying a muscle car.

Don't get me wrong, I clearly understand the trends in the market and I don't blame people if they want an AWD car because it lets them drive it in the winter or they don't really care about driving on the track or something. The thing that gets me is when people say they "don't understand the hate for AWD." That should be pretty obvious . . . it's taking away one of the main factors that makes the M3 special and unique, and one of the main factors that gives it its character. Sort of like how an Ecoboost Mustang will *never* be as special as a GT350, regardless of how it performs.

Every report prior - Has stated an M3 Pure variant would be available in RWD, 6MT, less power, less money....That is the one I will be buying if available, but I feel bad for the Xdrive guys that can't option a manual on an Mcar.

Can we all just get along.

It is what it is. Times are changing so rapidly nowadays that day you drive your new BMW off the lot it car becomes outdated. Manuals are unfortunately just about done. AWD automatics are the future and already here for us now. We are going to end up like Mercedes and Audi. It's just the reality. Even though I won't be purchasing the G80 I'm excited to see what BMW has in store for it. I'll still be going to the grave with my manual F80 though. When I get older I'll probably look into the X3M or something in those lines for the future daily or for the future wife. Haha.

Obviously many disagree about the DCT vs manual argument. I only had MT cars prior to my first experience with DCT. It was definitely fun shifting and dropping the clutch. But after driving DCT, I get the same thrill which is from shifting at whatever rpm I wanted. I was happy to get rid of a third pedal and free up one hand.

If you use DCT as it's meant to be used, i feel it's just as "fun" as MT. It shifts just as "hard" and is crisp. When I don't want to shift manually anymore, I just pop it into auto. Now I haven't driven the 8 spd auto, but it doesn't sound like it drives or shifts the same way. Anyone driven the m5?

Give me a break already. Many of the super/hyper cars are AWD. The current gen M3 (competition) can't lay down all the power to the rear wheels without causing some spin. I track my car and it annoys me that after a curve I can't plant the pedal all the way down without worrying if spin (aka loss of power, loss of acceleration, loss of speed, loss of TRACTION ) will occur. Or how about the spin on a dead start...So great, 444 HP, but can't put it all down because the rear wheels can't handle it.

AWD will mean a slightly heavier car (if you are that concerned, go on a diet and change your seats to race car seats ), and it will mean all the power gets planted to the ground.

Do people not remember the 0-60 times of the 335xi vs 335i? Which was quicker? That's right, the XI. Most tracks that I go on are too short to enjoy max speed, and many have lots of curves (just the way I like them ) which means, 0-60 and 0-100 times are more important than top speed (We the People of the United States of America do not have an unrestricted highway ).

Now, if you want to complain about something: Lack of ventilated seats. When tracking my car the windows MUST be rolled down, and it's hot outside. I'd like my bootay to not be hot. Vent my BOOTAY
If the throttle pedal was supposed to be an on/off switch, bmw would have fitted one cos it’s much cheaper. Learn to modulate your throttle and you’ll have all the fun in the world at the track.

Lazy driving is not an excuse.


I’ve driven the M3, regular and ZCP, on track in wet or dry without any problems. Actually was always one of the quicker cars there in the rain, those Cup 2 on Porsche’s are crap in the wet. I have absolutely no idea what you guys are complaining about with lack of rear traction. In fact, it’s still lack of grip at the front which limits track potential.

Man, shit. I guess this will be my last M3 6 speed since it won't be an option 😞 maybe I'll have to buy an old e46 to pair with a G80..

So, my final statement on the transmission. I dont let the car select my radio station or the volume. I dont let the car select the temperature or the window status. I dont let the car select my seat position or height. And i never want the car to steer, brake, or accelerate for me. So, why, in the hell, would I let the car pick the gears for me? Why buy a sports car if it is going to self drive?
The only honda I ever thought of buying was the civic. I got in one, and my head hit the roofline. It was then a 2000 Dodge Intrepid, then a 96 Nissan Maxima, then 2006 330xi, then 2012 335xi, then M3.

It's all preference my friend. You let the car do a lot of automatic things for you (e.g., traction control, navigation, todays climate control is automated, auto-high beam assist, and more). Do I want my car driving for me? Maybe, at 3 AM after driving for 8 hours and I'm exhausted, but frankly, wouldn't trust it enough to actually fall asleep. Do I want my car to shift gears - when it does it faster and better than me - yup. I know several pro and notable race car drivers that love the auto of today on the track. For me, it lets me focus on turning.

You just need a cool shirt system! That is what I use when I track my M3. Cooler sits nicely bolted down in the back seat floor. Put on under your fire suit and your good to go!
Cool shirt? I tried taking my shirt off the track, but when they saw my au-natural sweater they told me to put a shirt on or be track banned

THere definitely is a difference. I got to drive M2, M3 Comp and M4 Comp at M Track days and i could clearly tell the difference between M2 and M3/4. However, after coming out of a curve, I felt the lack of power in the M2 made me unhappy - and to me, happiness is key. Others will have different feelings, and thats perfectly fine.

Frankly, I'm happy BMW has different version. Auto, Manual, AWD, RWD and the combinations...something for everyone should be celebrated

I consider myself a die-hard manual fan and do not like seeing it discontinued in the 3 series and only available in the M3 Pure.

YMMV, but owning a manual and driving in heavy traffic has never been a problem for me, only once on a hill in San Francisco moving a couple inches at a time for over an hour did I ever consider not having a 6MT.
It's all about what makes us happy

No need to be inflammatory. I know how to modulate my throttle however, if you can't plant your foot all the way down without causing wheel spin then your car has a traction problem. I've had this occur on speed...Summer, straight line, dry going about 30-50, put foot all the way down and feel a bit of squirrel. Dude, that's not lazy on my part, that just a car that can't handle the power

Some of us like a car whose engine will readily over-power the rear tires, that's why we like driving RWD cars! Many people don't care about this and those people will find AWD more enjoyable but for me, it's important that the rear of the car can be steered with the throttle even in 3rd or 4th gear. I don't like a car that's overly stable or has 'too much' traction for its power level because it's not nearly as fun to me.

From what I've seen and heard about the new M xDrive system, I'm not too worried because it seems it keeps this RWD character that I enjoy but adds even more performance and safety on top of that which is very cool. My ideal G80 M3 would be M xDrive & 6 speed manual.

I'm just so confused... Didn't someone confirm the M3 sDrive "Pure" version was supposed to come with a 6spd. So does this mean this is the last generation for M2/M3/M4 to come in a 6spd manual????

Yeah i think there will be no manual anymore. If the m3 gets no manual then the m2 also gets no manual.

Bmw is not going to make a manual gearbox fit for just one car.

All BMW 3 and 4 series get the 8HP ZF gearbox and also the M3 and M4 will get the automatic gearbox with some sort of trackmode for faster shifts. ZF 8HP76X will be in the M3. The choice for automatic vs DCT is price wise. DCT is much more expensive gearbox.

All of the things you "dont let the car" do are literally automatic.
You press a button to select the radio station
You press a button to set the volume
You press a button to select the temperature
You press a button to set the window status
You press a button to select your seat position or height
With an automatic transmission with paddle shifters, you press a button to shift. No one is forcing you or advocating that you use the fully automatic mode. So based on your logic, there's no difference between the rest of the automatic things on your car and an automatic transmission w/ paddle shifters.

*insert mic drop here*

With a manual there is no switching from awd to rwd.

So it is either rwd manual or zf8 automatic with awd to rwd switch

I don t think bmw will make a manual m3 anymore!

Put 295 high grip compound in the rear and you are all set. No need for 100kg drivetrain penalty with that huge rotating mass vs. CFRP of F8x.

This is what we all want but i guess it make too much sense for Bmw so instead they will sell you a X3M overpriced and over weight with a 8AT.

Your statement is a bit of a contradiction as lessening traction (in euro MDM or MDM) allows more slip/spin, so in on sense makes it harder to put the power down.

That said, the reality is that all BMW's I have driven the traction control systems are way to intrusive. Yes I have see the traction control light in my F80 flashing, but in those scenarios if it was off that doesn't mean the car would have spun out or not driven straight, it is just that if the system thinks any slip will occur it steps in.

Now I am going to contradict myself a bit: MDM feels like you can put the power down better because it actually allows some slip and tires actually reach there max level of grip with some level of slip. I do not feel that the F80 has any traction issues, but it does require proper throttle modulation like any high horsepower car.
