Didn't they just announce some 560bhp one-off M4 variant? I forgot the name, the 600K euro one. That uses the same S58 and MT combo I think.
So it really was just a matter of putting a higher torque rated clutch. BMW is soooo easy to read.

BMW did the minimum needed and that's going to be it I think. It's the equivalent of throwing us a bone to keep us happy.

I've only bought BMW with manuals but the F80 will be my last. Not keen on buying lesser compromised versions de-tuned because of the transmission.
