BMW is one of the exceptions by selling the M2, M3, and M4 with a stick shift, which is also coming to the Z4 M40i roadster this year. Although a company spokesperson recently said there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/01\/14\/bmw-m-keeping-manual-gearbox\/\">enough demand to keep the three-pedal setup alive<\/a>, its days are ultimately numbered.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Italian magazine <em>Quattroruote<\/em>, BMW Member of the Board of Management Frank Weber suggested the future is looking grim for the do-it-yourself gearbox. The inevitable demise of the manual is mainly attributed to a decrease in the popularity of the once-prevalent 6MT:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere are fun products, but let&#8217;s be honest, the volumes are getting smaller and smaller. And so, it doesn&#8217;t make sense to develop them anymore. If you want a manual M, you have to buy it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-451846\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-830x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-830x550.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-1546x1024.jpg 1546w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-bmw-m2-manual-test-drive-25.jpg 1631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more to the story than just the fact more and more people prefer the automatic to the detriment of a manual. Because advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are getting more sophisticated, these newer systems are primarily engineered to work with cars that have automatic transmissions.<\/p>\n<p>With these two major factors in mind, BMW suggests the end is nigh for M and M Performance cars equipped with a manual gearbox. Logic tells us the current-generation M2, M3, and M4 will be the last to allow owners to row their own gears. Ideally, the German luxury brand will keep the three pedals right until the very end.<\/p>\n<p>The G87 is supposedly going to be retired in mid-2029, after the G80 dies in early 2027, and the G82 in mid-2028. The G81 M3 Touring and the G83 M4 Convertible don\u2019t matter in this context since they\u2019re both sold exclusively with xDrive, so only with the eight-speed torque converter Steptronic automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of all-wheel drive, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/08\/16\/bmw-m2-xdrive-likely-to-arrive-around-2026\/\">M2 will reportedly get xDrive in 2026<\/a>, which would automatically be offered with an automatic. It\u2019s unclear whether the all-paw model would supersede today\u2019s rear-wheel-drive version or whether the two would peacefully coexist. If the RWD model dies roughly two years from now, the manual will go away as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quattroruote.it\/news\/nuovi-modelli\/2024\/02\/12\/bmw_cambio_manuale_addio.html\"  rel=\"noopener\">Quattroruote<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>First published by https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-six-speed-manual-18-830x553.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p>Few luxury automakers bother to cater to enthusiasts in 2024 by giving them the option to opt for three pedals instead of two.
