Introduction to BMW’s Manual Transmission Options

BMW enthusiasts have long cherished the thrill of driving with a manual transmission.

Commitment to Manual Transmissions

In an enlightening discussion with BMW Blog, Neubauer emphasized that BMW’s engineering team remains committed to creativity and innovation. She stated, “If [BMW M] engineers can make [new manual products] happen, I think they will always try to do so.” This sentiment mirrors previous comments from other BMW executives, suggesting a continuous interest in maintaining manual options within their performance lineup.

Future M Models and Possibilities

Looking ahead, the next generation of BMW M models, particularly the M3, could potentially feature a six-speed stick shift, should the brand address current supply challenges. As BMW navigates the balance between traditional gas-powered vehicles and emerging electric counterparts, a manual transmission could serve as a distinctive feature for the gas-powered iteration. Furthermore, exclusive offerings like the limited BMW Skytop might also benefit from the inclusion of a manual option, enriching the driving experience for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
