Question 2020 f90 vs 2018 f90

Is it true that new 2020 or 2021 m5 is faster than 2018 model?
Read that newer model has revised transmission?

In theory. BMW claims 0.1 seconds faster. Car and driver measured 0.2 seconds slower. AKA a wash.

As far as the transmission, nobody has been able to post updated specs or internals besides it is rated for 10 NM (~7 ft lb) more torque, aka another wash.

I wouldn't buy a new one solely for those reasons.

It has the same tranny as the M8. So it's updated. As to what who knows. There is a thread on it.
