Having said that, Mexicans made this:

Well that's a shame, because you guys would be closing yourself off to some pretty amazing cars IMHO. My list would include the Z3M, Z4M and all the X3/5M's.

I've driven the majority of M's, and my Z4M Roadster is absolutely a highlight. And no one is going to convince me a Z4M is NOT a thoroughbred. I'd even consider replacing my truck with an X3M LCI if something happened to it.

If this is indeed the very last small BMW M ever made with a 6MT, I couldn't care less where they assemble it. There are far more important deal breakers than that IMO.
