If I don't go M2 comp or whatever M2 is out I will likely go M3 pure. Which ever one I go with will likely be my last new manual car.. sad times.

As will I...no question. Transmission choice is more important to me than Comp Pack, AWD, etc.
I will tune, go with aftermarket or M Perf Springs, and do whatever else I need to do to get the car to where I need it to be. The transmission is the foundation to build a car on.

Something I saw on BAT today brought me back here:
In 1999 Lamborghini fitted a manual gearbox to the 529hp AWD Diablo. And we're still cool with BMW's stance here? BEAT!

Previous F80. Cars are so tech laden these days, sometimes a step towards more basic is so refreshing!

That fact alone meant I knew I couldn't get an M4 CS.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the different diameter wheels. Also, 18" front wheels would mean that it's not likely to fit the 6 piston calipers from the M2C on the front of the M3.
Water injection comes into play when you're making max HP for a sustained period of time. Do you anticipate that to be the case during daily driving? |

On one hand my inside me cries thinking of a slushbox and xdrive on an M3 On the other hand I know that it will continue to be the best among its peers. I don't think there is anywhere else to go. Closet Porsche fanboys will say 'get a Porsche'. Really? A Cayman S with a 4 cylinder engine that's 90k? No thank you |

BMW's 6MT can't handle more than 480 lb-ft of torque, so probably no manual in the base. That's why the Pure is only rated for 444 hp and <480lb-ft of torque.

Incorrect. F10 M5 came with 6 speed as well and that engine was rated 530 lb-ft.

Right? And plus, it would be even more weird if they offered it as part of a package, and called that the "Competition Package".
Heck, I even heard a rumor they were going to do just that for the F80 M3, but I don't know if they ever did or not. There's absolutely no info out there about it, sadly. I'm pretty sure they never offered it though, especially not for 2018 Sakhir Orange II M3s sold in San Francisco. |
