POV BMW M3 G80 Manual Transmission - High Speed Driving Unlimited Autobahn (MDM Mode)

Just thought I'd share this. Not my car, but really cool video. The Youtube channel is called "Cosmin DRIVES." Haven't been able to find too many videos on the 6MT G80. I think this car sounds fantastic, the interior looks great, and I appreciate the short gearing. I think it's a definite improvement over the F80!!

Short gearing? By my math he's hitting 100mph in 3rd.

Some auto journalists have been complaining about the shorter gearing of this car. It seems like it's revving pretty high in 6th gear. If it weren't limited electronically, it seems like gearing would be the reason for its top speed.

I'll live with that, happy it's not afflicted by too long ratios like the 718 4.0/GT4.

But they could have with a longer 6th speed still.

Here is another video going more in depth about the differences between Civic Type R and G80 M3 gearboxes. Some interesting observations:

I hit over 100 in third half way up the interstate ramp on my test drive with the CA in the car. He loved it
