I’m currently in a 2021 M340i Sedan and I love it. I was thinking that the 2024 Manual M3 was potentially the last opportunity to get a new gas-powered manual M car. Maybe it will be my last gas car. Anyway, I have never driven a manual M3 and was told there is no way to test drive one. I’ve enjoyed owning manual cars in the past, however only up to perhaps 180 HP. Is this a crazy idea? Are there any M specific things (manual or otherwise) I should consider?
Ours is manual, don’t regret it one bit. But, we didn’t realize it had gear shift assist in M1 mode, with it on shifting is janky at best. Now that it’s off it’s buttery smooth.
I wish the assist could be disabled by default.
