February 2027 will mark the end of G80 M3 production, BMW M confirmed, closing out the current generation before the next gasoline-powered G84 M3 arrives in summer 2028.
An 18-month gap in new combustion M3 availability stems from BMW's factory reshuffle: Munich is moving to EV-only production by the end of 2027, while the next 3 Series and G84 M3 shift to Dingolfing.
The 2027 M3 CS Handschalter becomes the last manual M3 BMW will build, with neither the G84 nor the electric ZA0 planned to offer a clutch pedal.
Priced at $108,450, the North America-only CS Handschalter pairs rear-wheel drive with a six-speed manual, 476 hp and very limited production; orders open in July and deliveries start in the fall.
With an 18-month M3 production gap, how will BMW stop loyal buyers from defecting to rivals?
Can an 800-hp electric M3 truly capture the soul of its legendary combustion-powered ancestors?
Is the final manual M3 a fan tribute or a calculated move to create an instant collectible?
