Hmm, wonder why Porsche and Ferrari are going to DCT instead of sticks?

That's not the point. The point is personal enjoyment and interaction with the vehicle. Porsche still offers manual. So does Audi. Only reason they would stop is if it's no longer profitable. Ferrari is a small niche producer, it may be cost inefficient to maintain both drive train. Why is arithmetics still taught in k-12 when there's calculator.

Pretty sure it's a manual... doesn't the guy accidentally pop the clutch right at the beginning. Also, it appears the driver has one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift.

BMW M should make the M1 (E82) faster than the M3 (E92). The M3 will anyway be better in some ways:
-more place -more exclusive -more history -more prestigious -more comfortable -NA -> more Motosport, better, if not the best, sound. |

I am failrly certain this will not be an M version, but thats my opinion. And, to whomever was crying about it sounding not like a traditional NA M car... Boo frigin hoo! Boosted is where its at, screw NA, you want NA go grab a taxi.

Obsesed with noise.... I couldnt care less if it didnt make any at all, the performance is where its at, not the noise after affect from gaining said performance... You all sound like a bunch of rices with that talk. To the people talking a M would have this, and an iS would have that.... You have no idea the concept of test mules I take it? Test mules are just that, test for components, not a whole package. For all we know, it is a 1 series new body on a chasis designed for a new BMW go-cart... who cares if it has a damn sun roof, the whole chasis will be gone when they go to market with the go cart dude... Speculation is pointless, face facts, you DO NOT KNOW, WE WILL NOT KNOW what the hell it is untill they unveil it, plain and simple. But, I degress, carry on pointless badgering about what it is, what it isnt, and your prefered gearbox. Im sure it will make a diference in the end, becasue BMW is going to make it exactly to your one and only specific wants and desires. |

![]() So by your logic, we don't really know if the car has a gas powered engine since we haven't seen a pic of it. Get real, it's obvious it's a stick from the first minute of the clip. ![]() |

You could then state what you liked, but disagreeing with my preference is like me saying I disagree with the sun becasue its hot, and I like cold. |
