As well as the X3 M40i for family duties, i recently had a pair of M240i's for work. Same engine, same gearbox, even better noise.
Now my work vehicles have been replaced and we're running a pair of M2 Competitions instead of the M240i's. They're powered by the S55 and geared by the 7 speed DCT 'box. Sadly the engine doesn't sound as good and is much less economical, and the gearbox (whilst it's the best version of BMW's DCT so far) just isn't a patch on the ZF8 in 99% of driving.
Long live the B58 & ZF8 combo.
