Unfair characterization of the ZF8. It's amazing in cars like the M5 CS, Jaguar Project 8, and probably Alfa GTAm (never driven one, but I'm guessing) etc. Its been improved to be more aggressive with OTA updates in the new M4 and probably will be incredible in the CSL.
The M-DCT is an overrated transmission and this car is probably very well suited to the ZF8. |
The point was, it's not a manual transmission. Sure the ZF8 is a great Automatic transmission…. but it's still an automatic.
This M3 Touring needs a manual transmission… for those of us that love to drive with more control and more engagement.
But if it isn't coming to North America… the point is moot. |
No a wagon doesn't need manual gearbox.
Germans think rationally and practically, if you want driving engagement and want the control of the driving you may well just take M3/M4 with stick, the wagon is more about performance with practicality it's gotta be auto and ZF is easily much faster than manual.
I also miss those shortcut programable buttons, I wish they can be done the same over the touchscreen too.
And for you asking about the M car display on OS8
I found this on another M2 clip that might worth to see.
