For me, the E92 M3 Concept car was love at first sight, but the car got absolutely wrecked by a lot of owners for not being an I6, too heavy, ricer hood and looking like a Honda Civic.
The F8x M3/4 comes out and now the complaints are that it's EPS instead of hydraulic steering system, not to mention all M's should be NA, the car sounds like a cow, M4 rear fenders are horrible, power dome doesn't even do anything blah blah blah.
Let me ask you guys this. Let's say the G generation M cars are the last to offer a manual trans option and the next ones are PHEVs and automatic only, you're going to tell me the values of these G80s would not remain hilariously high? Give it 15 years, EAG will be selling low mileage G80's with a 6MT, carbon buckets, maybe carbon ceramics for Porsche GT3 money.

Yes, for sure. I've seen all the crying and whining for so many generations that now I'm like meh.
I'm sure the G will be the last with 6MT and a dinosaur-based drivetrain. I am completely sure the last 6MTs that are nicely specced will be worth a lot in the future.
