Of course, there are other reasoning... but too long and complicated to write all of em. Plus, it was back in April when I talk about those kind of things, so I don't fully remember all other reasons. lol Last edited by ichitaka05; 10-14-2019 at 07:22 PM. |

Yes. That’s another reason as well. He did say it. It’s not like he’s hiding it.

I "built" a 2020 M240i (same B58 engine) online (reasonably equipped) similarly to the Supra Premium and the MSRP was only $2k less. Both far less expensive than the (S55) 7-speed DCT M2C. https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...f-eight-speed/ "That’s also the opinion of Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin, who claims ZF’s 8HP is lighter, cheaper, and quicker than a dual-clutch transmission." |

The shift times are negligible for anyone not in a F1 car. The extra gear and less weight might be nice for fuel economy.

The manual transmission should trade places with the auto and become a premium option. Porsche is pretty much doing it. Lots of their extra special 911s (911R, Sport Classic etc) only come with a manual and people are snapping them up. I think it's becoming clear that in order to survive, the manual has to pull its own weight and become a premium option. That'll take care of all the cost concerns.

...but there's also someone interivew Tada-san claiming that, there's no MT on the market that good/reliable enough. BUT I didn't hear that from Tada-san, so take that as a grain of salt. |

Again, this was some article or post in our sister site, SupraMKV. I, myself haven't heard Tada-san stating those things. This is why, I've stated "take it as a grain of salt".

Yea I get it, and I suppose it is more of a slap to ZF or Getrag or whoever makes their transmissions, but just saying, there should be a decent manual out there for them, or are the manuals in the M2/M3/M4 crap?
