Garage List
The first deal-breaker for me is the grille. It's as ugly AF as the latest render, I'm going to be forced to look elsewhere, or just keep my 2016 M4 longer. I couldn't bear to walk into the garage and have that abomination staring at me each time. I've said it before, but looks are not usually the deciding factor for me. In this case I would have no choice.

I really don't care if it comes with a manual or not, as I love the DCT in my car, but the second deal-breaker is DCT vs. the ZF 8-speed. I was not at all impressed with this transmission when I test drove both the M5 Competition and the X3M. In my back-to-back test drives, the DCT was superior. The ZF needs to be significantly better in the G8x M3/M4.

Edited to add: I won't buy an M3 at all; it will be an M4.
