The 2027 M3 CS Handschalter is here to send off this generation of M3 in all of its rear-wheel-drive, manual transmission glory. But first, listen to a pair of "automotive experts" struggle to explain the confusing M3 lineup, and where this special edition lands within it. Then the guys talk about the legacy of this M3, and its potential future.

Benjamin also shares his thoughts on the sweet, not sour 2026 Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition. Ben says "no notes" about this rear-wheel-drive coupe, though Sami has a bit more to add about the evolution of this car and its price point. The guys go over its cool new body kit and exhaust and offer some advice to prospective buyers.

The episode closes out with an add-on rear wiper for the Hyundai IONIQ 5, and a cool book about automotive design. Thanks for listening for 10 years!
