I am getting contradictory opinions about the manual gearbox, from "feels exactly like in my 135i" to "feels better than in the new M4".

I keep going back and forth on the cognac interior. It's on my order but every time I see the door cards it makes me want to just go with black. I've always wanted a brown interior but the mix of black and the M highlights makes it seem off.

Still going cognac, though. With ZB and black wheels. I don’t normally like piano black but that will be my interior trim because cognac leather, black dash and seat backs, M2 door cards AND carbon trim is just too busy. Also, I bet we can always replace the door cards with something more subdued. |

That was my original spec. I think it'll be nice.

Topher has become one of my favorite car YouTubers as of late. Just really easy going, high quality, informative videos.

new review from Zygrene. smaller channel but he does good reviews. pushes cars in the canyons to coax out a little bit of oversteer and understeer.
final thoughts at 6 min. pros: engine is a monster, for the money its a very competent machine on track. says he was initially a hater of the car based on the looks. but the driving dynamics overshadow alot of that. cons: zf8 is laggy compared to dct. says he's not sure why bmw went this route. because its been the same trans since the pre-lci 135i. basically it was created for the n54 engine. has been carried over to newer models since then because bmw is too cheap to upgrade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_S6-53_transmission
