Bro, just because you don't know how to drive stick doesn't mean you should be all salty.

I hate the thing. It's the first and last non-6MT I'll ever own (until I have no choice). It's much faster than my prior 6MT F80, and any other 6MT I've ever owned, yet I cannot f*cking wait to get rid of it.

Sorry, but couldn't help laughing at that statement. "Never" is a bit of a strong statement here. All my earlier cars were manual BECAUSE it was the fastest option and the better performance option. It's no longer the case today, so I agree that there are different motivations to getting a manual today, but it hasn't always been the case.

Of note, from I gather, they are still offering a RHD 6MT G8X despite the low take rate on the F80, only BMW UK is not offering in their market.

At any rate, I concede that there is a segment of the market that appreciates 6MT for whatever reason. My point of view is that 6MT is a dying breed and sooner or later will be killed off; however, the discussions about 6MT seem to be never ending and dominate just about every forum and topic. Yes, there will be another M3/4 with with 6MT, but it will be a neutered one with fewer horses and options. IMO, they should offer it with all the bells or whistles or just kill it off for good. The next generation will likely be a hybrid or all electric, so it might not even have a transmission. Are we gonna have the same discussions in 4-5 years?

My only point was that people these days prefer MT because they find it more fun and engaging than an auto, not because it's faster. That doesn't mean everyone should find it more fun and obviously many people don't.
I am personally on the fence. The reason I would choose 6MT is exactly because it's a dying breed. Like going retro one last time. Otherwise to be honest an auto suits my needs better. |

That car came out in 2007, so it's been over a decade that the manual cars have been slower than the 'auto' ones. |

Ha oops, I was on a M2C kick 😉. But wow not offering laser lights is a shame. Wonder if there are some specific regulations prohibiting it in that region.

Wait there is an option for under-floor neon lights?!?! I missed that... I'll have to go update my build.
