BMW M3 Handschalter says goodbye to the sixth-gen M3 as a lightweight CS with a manual transmission. That’s right, this is the first M3 CS to have three pedals, with a six-speed manual transmission connected to the 3.0L twin turbo inline 6 engine. It produces 473 hp and 406 lb-ft, is rear-wheel drive, has a bit less weight the normal, and will let the driver row their own gears. Those specs are a bit lower than the all-wheel drive, automatic equipped M3 CS, so it’s not an outright performance beast but more focused as a pure driver’s car.
