I am well aware of the difference between the S54 to the S65 to the S55. Just like the M57 to the N57 to the B57. And - you are wrong again. A MT option for the M57 does exist as well as an upgraded AT option with billet internals and 2 different tune options for sport mode. And FWIW - out about $7k to $9k in a E90 M57, and it'll crush a S65 or S55 in curve or straight line. I've personally done it. |

And in this thread about the M40d, that means nothing. Build an G01 with an M57, have it crush the M40d, meet Euro 6d emissions and you'll be on to something.

MT option from BMW - no. MT option from secondary market - yes. But this also requires a different gear ratio...so, there's that to consider. Yes - engines evolve and, often change. Not sure where you read my comments otherwise. Just like the N54 is a bed plate motor, but only made 300 bhp and tq from the factory, compared to the M57 that isn''t a bed plate motor, and yet it made 425 tq from the factory. In reality - the N54 is made to hold much higher power, compared to a motor that actually stresses the motor more (the M57). Conversely - the M57 is a factory closed deck block compared to the open deck N54. We can have a much more technical discussion off line if you so choose, but I doubt you'll want to dive that deep into the technical aspects beyond what you have read online. I just think you should slow down and actually absorb what you read first, think, and then respond.....never said BMW made a MT M57; said this option exists. Understand also that platforms evolve and completely change with advances in mechanical engineering. Just because it changes or advances, doesn't mean it's better. If only the EPA banned all prior production vehicles that do not meet the ever changing conditions for compliance, then our conversation would focus only on the current year models. Last comment - That's the great thing about the internet - another person can have a different opinion from you, present factual data to support their side, and then agree to disagree. The EPA can pass all the laws and rules they want - as soon as they have the man power and work force to actually enforce said laws - I'll worry then. |

I answer to the very first post :-)
Yes, coming from diesels, I wished a M40d. By curiosity, I’ve checked the configurator and with the higher price of the M40d, even with better mileage, for me, it is more expensive. I don’t regret my M40i :-) |

Thankfully, in addition to the M40i BMW has decided to give G01 and G02 buyers the option of a higher hp B57 in the M40d. Quote:

Thankfully the new G01 M40d comes with the ZF8HP from the factory. Quote:

But, the new G01 M40d does meet current Euro 6d emissions regulations, making it available for sale as a new vehicle in markets which fall under those regulations.

THe M40d? Yes it should be listed on BMW web site in coming weeks. I'm still pushing Alphabet to sort it. You can already see it on sites like broadspeed etc.. Some people on other threads/forums have even placed up front orders with dealers with some discount.
