They filed the patent- maybe a manual just selects torque to a computer. Interesting how one could manually select power. It’s no different than manual gear selection maybe?

and? it comes to a point where it will impact the sporty feel of driving no matter what they do to the suspension or tire width.
porsche has kept their gt3s light. weight gain has been pretty minimal compared to m3s over the years, and it shows. nothing comes out of a corner like a porsche. |

Smart play by BMW to fund both versions and let consumers decide. As always, I’ll reserve judgement until I drive them. Until then I’ll continue to enjoy the S58 driving experience.

To be fair, they did force buyers to give up AWD and ~100 ft lbs if they wanted a stick. Kind of a dick move.

I think because at the end of the day- there may be a small faction of enthusiasts that still engineer over at bmw. I think if that added awd to current ice manuals- it would draw another crowd bmw is overlooking as well. |

It's only that high in the US, unfortunately not enough. You need a lot more of those globally to build a business case

Less than 48lbs of additional weight for 48V battery system, should be palatable

2025 - “ BMW Executive shocked to discover that Porsche can raise the price of its GT3 touring by $50,000 per year and still sell out because it has all of the features that enthusiasts want - weight management, a manual transmission, and lovely viewing angles”.

They'd sell a hell of a lot more of them if BMW and their dealers weren't both sabotaging them. In the mean time, E39 M5s keep getting more expensive because as it turns out, some people want a nicely sized manual sport sedan. |

Sounds like it’ll be the 48V hybrid already being used elsewhere in the lineup. It won’t weigh that much and will also provide some nice torque fill on the S58. I’m looking forward to seeing the spy shots.
