Good see that the third pedal is still showing signs of life in a 2021 MY and maybe it's the thing that would make this model a hit..

I'm really curious as to what percentage of the G8X sold in the US are manual. Hopefully BMW of North America releases some statistics soon. |
On the F80 (sedan only) the take rate on 6MT was 28% in the USA, 15.6% globally.
I'm going to assume the 6MT take rate will be much lower on the G80 due to the availability of the higher performing 8AT competition models. Selecting the 6MT in the F80 did not necessitate a compromise on engine Hp and very little difference in 0-60 time. The G80 will push many to select the 8AT AWD model just for bragging rights.
Considering this will be the sunset on the M3/M4 with a manual transmission we should enjoy them! Figure well under 20% in USA and under 10% globally.
