I was suprised I am the first 6MT snob to notice they are giving us the ability to judge people's transmission choices from afar!

I guess it shouldn't really be that much of a surprise, as my current F82 (non-Comp) DCT has chrome badges versus the black badges on the Comp/CS etc - even if they don't have the natty little 'Competition' bars tacked on that the newer models get. So obviously the different badge colours (or 'colors' for our North American friends!) are denoting the non-Comp versus Comp as usual, rather than specifically the choice of transmission, however it just so happens that on the G8x generation that going for the Comp version means you get 8AT by default. Anyway its irrelvant for me, as I live in the UK and we get the 8AT Comp model only. Right, that's more than enough rambling on about badges... |

Yeah unbelievable, you can't get a black badge with a manual!
The other differences between base and competition are rather minimal (except for the engine tune), I think it's the mirror caps, the gurney and the exhaust tips which are black on the competition, nothing else. |

I'm actively looking to buy an M3 6MT comp pack. Debating between a F80 or wait a bit for the new base G80. I'm on a list for a new one, but I don't like the idea having to get the "base" model in order to get the manual transmission.
I expect the base G80 will be a better overall car with performance and technology. I'm leaning towards the F80 and maybe getting the G80 a couple years down the road.

I drive in and out of Brooklyn every day, the most populous of the 5 boroughs of NYC. It's brutal with a 6MT but I wouldn't have it any other way. As a fellow gym nut, I find my left calf always looks spiked in every picture lol. "Base" G80 with a BM3 stage 1 tune and I'll be set.
