Please man.
Read my post.
I ask how do you know that THIS (i.e. the 7DCI600 TRANSMISSION) is THE new M3 DCT gearbox? Everybody's talking about it... yes, there was information given sometime back as to the M3 getting a DCT gearbox. I know - really I do.
But, is this that you're showing us, the new gearbox?
a) How do we know that the next DCT gearbox for the M3 will be a seven speed? Why can't it be a six speed?
b) This gearbox is over-engineered by a capacity of 200 Nm for the application in the M3. I find this odd.
Hence my comment, that this transmission appears to be more applicable to the 7 speed, 600 Nm C63.
I'm not disputing that the M3 will get a new DCT transmission.
