As to this thread:
I am thinking the M3 pure is pure, but down the road there is a plan for change when needed? Would the plan include components similar to the 992 and therefor suffer a similar weight penalty?
I read between the lines that clutch by wire is already there. What is your thoughts on that, if true? I’m not getting MT this time but would welcome it.

Some parts of the implementation by ZF I’m not sure I’d like in an M3 though. The part of shutting off the engine while sailing and then restart when giving throttle would bother me.
