My car on the east coast was 3 weeks from ship to dealership

After my first child was born over 2 years ago, I sold my 2 seat f-type r and went and ordered a manual 992 gts coupe in pts, exclusive interior etc, every option, was almost turbo s money, but I needed rear seats and the coupe is only body style with rear anchor points which are mandatory for our baby seat regs

I was trying to get a manual 992.1 built before the hybrids kill the manuals

Build was sitting in limbo for over a year until I got the conversation well maybe if you buy a Cayenne or a taycan it’ll improve your chanc….just give me money back

And glad I did, my little bloke just won’t sit in a coupe at all, I’ve since put a seat in a Roma and db12 with no luck, I think it’s the claustrophobia

I swapped my f-type for a new f-pace svr and now looking forward to an lci m3 as my 4 door sports car - I’ve also got an exclusive paint rs6 performance on order but that seems to have gone mia too

I agree, Model variations increase costs for BMW

M3 Competition should have been offered with an optional Manual Transmission instead.

If clutch needed an upgrade to handle higher torque and HP, BMW should have done it.

Exactly, that's all I'm saying and you articulated it far better than I did. I love the fact they still offer a manual. Completely handicapping it with a torque figure from 2013, not so much.

They’ve even admitted that. They said they will only do competition from now on. They should have just done comp manual

Perhaps source an MT from Tremec for M3 Competion, it’s proven to handle high torque of CT5-V & GT350 not to mention excellent driver reviews.

That would be too much to ask…. BMW partner with and American OEM
