A sports car can be a blast to drive, especially with a manual transmission
0:04
However, manufacturers are quickly moving away from the manual transmission, especially when they're moving over to an EV platform. However, BMW is sticking it out with
0:15
the manual transmission is leaving three different vehicles in their lineup right
0:19
now that you can grow your own gears with. So here they are. Now starting with the smallest
0:24
of the options we have the BMW M two, this is a completely redesigned and new vehicle that
0:30
recently came out and is essentially BMW small coupe, but it comes standard with a manual
0:35
transmission and the twin turbocharged 3.0 liter in line six engine. And in this case
0:40
it makes 453 horsepower at 6500 RPM and 406 pound foot of torque. Now, of course, you have to get
0:48
past the styling. I personally like it, but I'd be interested to see what you guys think in the
0:52
comments. Next up, we have the BMW M three, the M three, of course, is a high performance version
0:58
of the three series and actually utilize the same 3.0 liter twin turbocharged engine right we saw
1:04
in the M two. And in this case, it has 473 horsepower. Now the M three is an impressive
1:10
vehicle with roots going all the way back to the early 90s. And honestly, is probably my favorite
1:15
in the mixture of what BMW offers. And you can't go wrong with 4.1 seconds in an inline six sedan
1:23
You know, it's pretty cool. Before we move on to the list, I do want to invite you to subscribe
1:27
if you like enthusiast vehicles, because that is all what this channel is about. So back to the
1:32
video. Now the third and final vehicle that has a manual transmission in BMW lineup, of course
1:37
is the BMW M four, which is a large coupe from the brand. It utilizes the same engine that we saw in
1:43
the other cars, which is of course that inline six and makes the same 473 horsepower we saw in
1:48
the M three and can hit 60 miles per hour in that same 4.1 seconds. Now before we finish up, I do
1:54
want to talk about why you're not seeing any SUVs in this list. And that's really because BMW is
1:59
moving over to an EV platform. In the past, you did see some of their SUVs like the BMW x five
2:05
that did have a manual transmission because they were sporty SUVs of their time. But unfortunately
2:10
BMW has moved away from it. So we're only seeing these coupes and sedans with manual transmissions
2:15
And so there you have it, those are the three vehicles that BMW makes right now that you can
2:21
buy a manual transmission in and enjoy them while you have them because they may not be around
2:26
forever. Before you head out from this video, make sure to like the video as it helps me out a ton
