Base means base to me. So it confused my logic for a sec.
But yeah... maybe semantics. Lol base: noun // the lowest part or edge of something. pure: adjective // not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material. synonyms: unmixed,unadulterated, unblended, uncontaminated, sterling, solid, refined, one hundred percent, 100%; More without any extraneous and unnecessary elements. Competition: speaks for itself.

Or maybe they just don't want to sell any MT or rwd cars? Hell they could charge more for the pure and reduce a little weight and give it exclusive styling. Sounds like that's not the plan though. It would be bananas if the had the s55 in it though, hopefully not. |

I think they've done the pure to ensure they don't lose the fans of the madness the current and old M3/4s. Something Mercedes are starting to do with the AMGs (lose their legacy fan base) |

444hp on a lighter car with smaller wheels will feel quicker than more power on a heavier car with larger wheels. The manual RWD car is supposed to drop weight, so the power to weight ratio is what you want to look for. I will say a sedan/touring in AWD and 6MT is an empty space at the moment, so anyone looking for that combo should be disappointed if no 6MT is paired with AWD. |

Wrong. No one wanting a manual gives a shit if the autotragic one has better performance. MT has never been solely about performance in fact, that's secondary to the entire ethos of driving a MT car.

Pure will get the Purists to sign
Brilliant wordplay and marketing from BMW to appeal to the "purists" by giving them a stripped down car for what I bet will be somewhat close to Base model in terms of price. The toys given in the competition package are what will appeal to those that track the car that can afford to do so with a new car.

I'd be interested in seeing how expensive these are going to be as every new car seems to be getting more and more expensive now to the point where they are starting to become out of reach, e.g. an M5 that costs £100k!
I might try get an F82 M4 instead for now which will be a nice jump up from my 335i. If the G80 ends up being way more expensive then I'll at least have something to enjoy in the meantime. |

10AT will I am sure be *faster* than a 7 speed DCT.. which is all that matters for you.. as you stated, you already have set sail on the automatic ship (which INCLUDES DCT) in other words... you picked the ship (automatic) so stick with it.. |
