This. I'm not here to hate on the car itself but marketing strategy is a bit odd. It's like they are going for a younger crowd but forgetting that the MSRP is nearly $80k when optioned. Maybe they are hoping to catch those people that fell in love with F&F when they were younger when it first came out? But I feel like those people, like myself, have refined their taste over time and don't really respond well to this type of marketing. This type of racer boy F&F image is what has kept me away from certain cars in the past.

Then again, this is my take, and it's likely a bad take, as I can only speak for myself.

All that said, the last few seconds is 100% of the 6MT vs DCT threads on the F80 section lol.
Keep in mind this is an M3/M4 still, so its kinda a race car. If you dont drive it like you stole it, are you doing it right?* And even if you don't, its nice to know it can. And for the record, though not the majority, the millennial crowd has money saved now. And its not cheap to buy a home in/ near the city, so hmm..
