I am a die-hard manual enthusiast. My previous F30 335i and current 340i were/is manual. My next car likely G80 M3 will also be manual. I was stoked to hear BMW was keeping the manual 4 door ///M cars alive after they got rid of it in the non ///M.
I'm actually not concerned about the HP figure, it's the 406 lb/ft of torque which is the same as last gen and 73 lb/ft less than comp. When they made the new car roughly 300lbs heavier the "torquiness" will def feel less. However, they state it's 50lbs lighter than auto and has better weight distribution so that's a win.
At this point beggars can't be choosers as BMW is the only manufacturer to offer a 4 door high powered luxury sports sedan in a manual. I for one, am grateful for that. As others have said, it's not about being the most powerful but the driving experience.
