Firstly well done BMW for still making or trying to make exciting cars but where are the real drivers manual cars of old. Anyone can pull a paddle. The PlayStation generation are all over it. Something involving without all the silly safety aids and ‘luxuries’ now considered essential ?? )

It is a shame it is not fully stripped out like the GTS but with four seats (and two doors). Drivers cars don’t need HK (not Heckler & Koch ?? ).

1) most people that buy the cars don't want manuals
2) the four seat/two door version is called the M4 wink

This comment always makes me chuckle. A decent gearbox and being anything other than a Baboon anyone can change gear well too, it's hardly difficult.

I did get alongside one once that had some sort of custom exhaust on it, it did sound pretty awesome and really loud and that's how I would have liked mine to have been for sure.
