All IMO of course

I think sales of the M3/M4 will be just fine, if not increase (I see folks coming over from Audi for example). Those that would prefer/require an M-xDrive variant that do not need the cargo capacity of an SAV will have that option. It's a smart move for BMW to give customers that option. My biggest fear here is that this will only be available for one generation regardless of sales (which would be a big mistake). I'm getting tired of having to wait 6-7 months out of every year when I travel abroad to row my own gears. 5-7 years from now, as the kids flee the nest and my cargo requirements lessen, I would like the option to move into a new M3/M4 manual. Hoping the pure variant is a permanent offering if that makes any sense.

glad I am not the only one who thought so, what were they thinking? why not go with more two tone options people actually would order.
so exactly what exterior would the gray/so go with? all the other parts that are black inside just make too much contrast for it to look good |

I wish I could but living in NYC, I only have room in the stable for one. With a family of 5, it's not an option.

Is it just me or is Toronto Red similar to Sakhir Orange but more true red (still hints on that orange side).

Also, if you have to tune it to be competitive it's not competitive. But I don't think that's what you meant.

I asked the same question during my last BMW M training at the Ring last October to my trainer, as prior to retirement, was the M lead engineer for the X3M/X4M (he was also in charge of the 1st two X5M/X6M's). Internally, BMW AG doesn't feel so, but with the 2 year M3 gap (F80->G80) and upcoming lease expirations, yes M3 owners will lease a X3M at least in the US, which is heavy on leasing compared to the EU markets.

Might be more of a limitation of the transmissions than anything else. Not sure about the Alfa but Audi and BMW are 8 speeds. Porsche is a 7 speed DCT.
