We trash on the G8X all the time, but it will likely go down in history as the last M3/4 available with the option of a stick shift.

Given the state of the automotive industry we may not even see many cars in the future with traditional automatic transmissions either. Manual shift mode and/or paddles are not like a real manual, but they still provide some level of driving engagement especially in twisty canyon roads. They are far better than some soul-less 1-2 gear EV transmission.
