Yes, I know this is the F30.post, but we do cover a good spread of cars across the BMW range. Good read, and as we thought, well most of us , 6MT is the way to go

Very interesting. Good comparison to the M3/4 too. Basically I can't wait, I'm wishing the summer away! Fortunately I've gotten back into cycling again and that's passing the time!

All great cars and if I had the choice I'd choose an M3 DCT to live with as a DD so these reviews are somewhat irrelevant to most of us.

Get it bought

Good review, however, dont know where they get their weights from:

"..... Because the 1495kg M2 is a bit of a porker when the M3 only weighs 1520kg with its extra doors. The M4 coupe? That’s 1497kg…...."

According to BMW's website they should be:

M2: 1570kg
M3: 1610kg
M4: 1590kg

Figures from the brochures:

M2 - 1570kg
M3 - 1595kg
M4 - 1572kg

DCT adds 40kg to M3/4 & 25kg to an M2

I noticed that a little back too Dopper. Something looks off on that M3 weight, I'm certain they used to say it was much lower.
