This isn't true, the previous gen F80 6mt was rated to 516 ft lbs and this is supposed to be the same box. In my opinion its the clutch that is the weak point. People are pushing plenty of power on f80 through the 6mt with upgraded clutches.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_S6-53_transmission 442 lb fts rated. I am not disputing that it can handle more, but BMW isn't going to do more than that.

Can all us engineers in the forum just stop for a second and react to seeing calculus (or at least an integral) in the wild!?
I was an enginerd for 15 years, took something like 20 hrs of math in college, and until today could count the times I actually needed to use calculus on two hands. Thanks to this guy, I now need to use my toes, too! A+ for effort! And also a topic that a lot of us think about. Many of us who have an Mcar are coming from a previous Mcar, and this question is always part of the 'calculus' of our decision - is it better/faster? If so, could I tell a difference empirically? I appreciated the approach and the thoroughness of locating the data you were able to find/use. At the end of the day it was an entertaining read. And people that chime in only to tear down someone else's posts ought to get kicked off of here anyway. Well done!

BMW should go to the Tremec. It's available in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and the Chevy Camaro ZL1, both with more HP and torque than the G82 M4 Competition. If it will stand up to those engines it should easily stand up the the S58 motor in Competition tune. |

That was a very informative video. It all comes down to this. mpg testing is biased toward automatics, so manufacturers can "cheat". At the same time, it seems the testing assumes the worst of manual drivers. At the end of the day, don't forget that manufacturers are all profit driven organizations. They just don't want to spend $ on manual transmission R&D at the cusp of electrification.

I've said this before, but the base headlight DRLs undoubtedly look better than the hex DRLs.
I think they even help the grill and entire front end look "less in your face" and not quite so busy. |

Good thing you don’t have to buy one. Why troll? I mean what a tool thing to do especially since it’s apparent now your opinion is the extreme minority opinion. It just makes you look juvenile.
