Good see that the third pedal is still showing signs of life in a 2021 MY and maybe it's the thing that would make this model a hit..

I'm really curious as to what percentage of the G8X sold in the US are manual. Hopefully BMW of North America releases some statistics soon.
I know in the US, their data showed a take rate on the manual M2 at 50% but that was also when opting for the DCT was a $2,900 added cost but now that the future ZF 8 will be a free option, we'll see how it goes..

I'm really curious as to what percentage of the G8X sold in the US are manual. Hopefully BMW of North America releases some statistics soon.
On the F80 (sedan only) the take rate on 6MT was 28% in the USA, 15.6% globally.

I'm going to assume the 6MT take rate will be much lower on the G80 due to the availability of the higher performing 8AT competition models. Selecting the 6MT in the F80 did not necessitate a compromise on engine Hp and very little difference in 0-60 time. The G80 will push many to select the 8AT AWD model just for bragging rights.

Considering this will be the sunset on the M3/M4 with a manual transmission we should enjoy them! Figure well under 20% in USA and under 10% globally.

Couldn't disagree more. I think it will perform slightly better. The DCT was a great transmission and lured away the causal 6MT buyer. A lot of people are unhappy about the 8AT and will be MORE likely choose the 6MT.

Also, because it is likely the swab song of the 6MT (and the ICE), people will get one last stick shift.

You're right about the power, and that will factor. But on balance, I'm thinking slightly better.

I love BMW, but Sharpe has damaged my last 2 new ones so I can't buy the brand again. Good luck.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I actually had an order in for a comp, allocation fell through and one came up for 6MT so made the jump. Thinking it's likely the last manual I'll ever own, at least as a daily driver, so I want to take the chance to enjoy it.

Congrats on winning the PS4S lottery! That's a big win. It will be interesting to see what proportion of cars come with them.
