For the US production run, F80 was 28.3% MT (4548/16,057)

According to BMW's G80/82 M3/4 launch materials, they expect global M3/4 MT take rate will be:
G80 M3: 12%
G82 M4: 8%

Given these forecast percentages (and the chip-shortage/wire-harness shortage induced low production numbers for M3/4 model years 2021-2022 and beyond) perhaps <5000 MT G80 M3 will ever be produced globally!

See attached pics.
I said US. Take away the CS end of cycle production being auto only and it is pretty close to 30%….

US supports the manual.

As someone who wants a manual G80, I feel like BMW has been very limited in production can’t find one can’t get an allocation….We shall see how that shakes out.
