AutoExec Summary
BMW has confirmed that future models will only be available with automatic transmissions due to low demand for manual options. The brand currently offers manual transmissions in certain high-performance models, but the volumes are decreasing, making it no longer viable to develop them. The M2, M3, and M4 models will continue to offer manual transmissions until the end of their lifecycles, expected to be 2028 for the M3 and M4, and 2030 for the M2. BMW’s decision is in line with its plans for all new M vehicles to be hybrid or fully electric.
