I agree with you. I just got mine. I did the first 1200 miles in 2 weeks. Since the break in its even better. I have had several m cars but this one seems even more alive after the break in. It's a little louder even. I got the 6MT. It's wonderful. You can really ride our 2nd and 3rd gear. On the highway you dont even need to downshift to accelerate.

The handling is amazing. I am in Florida but making a trip to North Carolina soon to experience the handling on some back roads.

I had an F82 M4 before this. This is definitely more refined. I miss the DCT and wild power band of the M4. This is just a lot more precise and feels like an upgrade. The ride is surprisingly smooth. It's takes bumps smoothly. Obviously stiff but compliant as a daily driver. I have an X5MC and this seems less harsh in its ride than that.

I also would only change the exhaust. Check out the valvetronic videos on YouTube for the G87. I like that. It does have a nice sound though.

Is this their last 6MT? I keep hearing people say that. So happy I went with the manual. People keep calling it rubbery. In itself it's great. I have nothing to compare it to. I am not going to likely ever drive a supra or Nissan z or any of the cars they compare it to. It's precise and it confidently goes into gear. I can revmatch but love it has the auto revmatch when you want it. It helps to teach my wife to drive it.

I love it!
