The ZF8 is pretty solid in most applications. I've driven the CTS V-Sport, as well as the ATS-V and latest CTS-V, and GM does a piss poor job calibrating it. It's almost like they purposely tried to screw it up.

I was referring to the original leaked info. Eg. The original info stated no side vents, now they have been added making it stand out more from the rest of the G30 lineup. Things change..

This will be my next car. I just had a 2014 M5 with DCT. Now I have a 2017 X5M. I really like the M version of the ZF8.

The person who posted is from Abu Dhabi Motors, a BMW dealership known to have many custom BMW's...
https://www.facebook.com/pg/BMWADM/p...13372415342331 https://www.facebook.com/pg/BMWADM/p...06659199346986 https://www.facebook.com/pg/BMWADM/p...99263756753197 I'm pretty sure they were amongst the VIP's to have a preview look at the new M5.... About the ZF 8 Speed, it is the same as in the M550i that was reviewed very recently and none of the reviewers complained about it... I'm pretty sure for the M5 it will have its own shift logic and speed too...

North Korea had this like 3 weeks ago! They strapped a nuke to it to get it up to speed. It failed though, looks like this M5 will be a flop.

Seriously, if it was up to us here to design the M5, it will be the size of E39, V10 NA, 3500 pounds, manual transmission, RWD, and etc. It's just not going to happen in today's market. |

People who ruin it for others...
As an insider, I really get sad when people abuse the trust that is given to them. The reaction to this sort of thing is manufacturers get more suspicious and show less in the future.

Well, I'm pretty surprised Porsche can make a 770Nm AWD boat with PDK and BMW/Getrag cannot.

It has been discussed elsewhere, Bugatti also uses double clutch. Maybe BMW just doesn't want to spend money to co-develop.
