No personal proof. While speaking with a local tuner I was explaining how I wanted a 6MT. However, I was likely going DCT because of tuning potential with the S55. He said don't worry about it. The 6MT is actually holding up better in stock form than the DCT, which is requiring new clutches. This was in the context of an S55 with just a tune. After seeing what he had done with his m4, m5, m6, and x5m I was inclined to believe him.

Agree, I was surprised to see a big space where the muffler could actually sit. Like he said in the video, if BMW had just directed the pipes into that space you wouldn't see the udders. I don't know if it is possible from an exhaust engineering perspective having a 90 degree bend in it though

I actually like those 1m seats lol. Personally I'm indifferent on the interior. I feel that the OG interior is equal to my M2C. CF hood, CF roof and carbon bits are great add ons, and this will be a great car. But I feel sad for the timing of its release...

Its all good, let the people have their manuals, eventually all manuals will be phased out for automatics, there is nothing more to gain from manual gearboxes, sure it's a nice feeling to be shifting on your own but it dosn't justify the drop in 0-60 times, the drop in MPG nor the drop in driving accessibility for BMW in whom they can reach with their products.
Overall the automatic is a better package then the manuals, but the manuals have a certain feel to them by shifting your self but it just isn't worth it anymore sens loads of people do city driving most of the time, then manuals are the worse choice. That's the one thing i disliked about my 235 was the city driving experience with a manual or when in huge traffic congestion shift to 1-2 2-1 1-3 3-1 rinse and repeat that was the worst part.

LOL here we go again. You're the one that said its udder made it look dated to which I replied that the new unreleased M3 has it as well. You're a troll.

First of all, this car is based on the F series platform, so you would expect it to share the same blueprint and some parts with the current series.
It's not "dated," it's continuity. Also, if they did build a new car from scratch, with unique parts to match, it would have to be reflected in the price tag in order for it be worthwhile to them. I'm sure all this is was factored in by people smarter than any naysayer on the internet. I'm happy they're actually making a king-of-the-hill M2 CS, as almost a homage to the F87's success and a vehicle to showcase the pinnacle of the 2 series platform, before its drives off into the sunset.. |

Man I'm glad I held off on Competition model. My local dealership has been bugging me for 2 months now to trade mine in on the one that's been sitting on their showroom floor. Hopefully it will have 7.0 iDrive?
