The world is a troubling, vexing place to live at the moment. So take solace in a glimmer of hope from BMW, who"s confirmed the next-generation M3 and M4 will retain a manual gearbox as standard. Phew. M Division boss Markus Flasch spoke to Top Gear at the Frankfurt motor show, confirming the next generation of his team"s core products will continue with straight-six power, nabbed from the latest X3 M and X4 M SUVs. "This S58 engine will of course be the base for M3 and M4," he said. "It"s our strongest ever straight-six and it"s already capable of 510 horsepower as basic, but it has not reached its fullest potential yet."
