The link I got took me to this page. https://discover.bmw.co.uk/article/m-goes-up-a-gear
I am not completely surprised, this happened with the S85 and S63Tu engines in the various M5 and M6 cars only being available as a 6MT in LHD |
I don't have any skin in the game for the UK so impartially your analysis looks accurate. No mention of 480hp 6mt variant... but they did mention xdrive which isn't going into production till next summer. I suppose you won't have official confirmation till next week.
Were any UK specific press invited to the 6mt pre-prod drives?
