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.
