I just hate when folks make outlandish claims with nothing to back it up; it serves to help no one and just adds to the confusion.
In 2020, it's not at all difficult to add a link or anything with any supporting substance but I digress..  |
One time a BMW engineer was asked why they have trouble sourcing 6MTs that take lots of torque when american cars have manuals in things like the Viper. The engineer politely said they had indeed tested them but they were not up to snuff.
So for them to use a manual that's coming out in a car that's a $50k cowboy hat, not even a sports car, is really hard to believe
Besides, they made improvements in the 6MT of the F8X, it had low enough friction to not require dedicated cooling. Why not amortize that through one more gen?
