Rumor: No 3 pedals manual transmission option in the M4?
Anyone see this?
http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/21/b...-transmission/ Autoblog claims they are dropping manual transmission and debuts in detroit. DCT will be standard. Thoughts? First world problems for sure. |

Rumor: No 3 pedals manual transmission option in the M4?
http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/08/21/bm...-transmission/ Don`t know if it is a repost but I was reading this article and was suprised by it. When BMW said that the won`t be any manual transmission in the next M5 they also said that the M3/M4 will always need one. Wondering who is lying?

We've heard prototypes running with what sounds like manual trans (edit: and seen them). I can't see them offering 6MT in the M5 but not in the M3. Autoblog doesn't have the best record for accuracy.

Makes no sense. Manual M3 has been spotted multiple times before.

Debuts in Detroit - check.
Dropping manual - wrong. Quote:

Just saw this other post by Jason. Tell me the M4 in this video is not 6MT...

As already mentioned, we have spy shots that show otherwise. Autoblog is wrong on this one.
Admin edit: there will be manual transmission option available. See: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=879669 |
