Last year for manual trans?

Randy Johnson · 10-25-2021, 11:08 AM

What is the last year you could get a manual trans in a bmw 3/4 series not including the M's? Also not including the psuedo manual dct. Missed the opportunity to buy a 2018 340i with manual a few months back.

I'm not sure if there is manual tran for models without b58 in the US, but 2016-2018 340i or 2017-2020 440i coupe all have manual option, I'm not sure if the gran coupe have manual.

2020 was the last year for the manual in the 4 series (excluding the M4) and 2018 was the last year for the manual in the 3 series (excluding the M3) The 4 series grand coupe models were not available with a manual

Would be nice if our cars gain some value and demand due to the dwindling supply of 6-speeds.

They are, at least the 340i's with 6-Speeds. I know that all used car prices are inflated in the current market, but go on cars.com and look for 6-Speed 340i's and you get very few results. Most with M-Sport are asking over 40k, with some over 50k with lower miles

I think the only manuals available at all anymore in the U.S. are in the M3/M4. I just tried to build a 2-series coupe and there was no manual option. Sad...

Very sad indeed. Which is why I'm holding onto my M4, M5, M Roadster and plain ol' Z3 Roadster.

It is very sad, I'll give the ZF8 credit. It is an excellent ATM but I still prefer the feel of a manual and a clutch. But market forces indicate most Americans don't want a manual transmission in their daily drivers so they sit on the lot.
