Well it makes sense. BMW has always had getrag and ZF transmissions but some penny pincher is probably patting himself on the back for this.
ONE transmission for nearly every vehicle in the bmw like up. M car, SUV, hybrid, 340i. This means BMW is able to place one big order and get a big price drop per transmission.
The cost is you now have ZF8s in every car. NO DCT. No manual. And I'll remind everyone that if the Getrag SMG unit had a modern computer it would be faster than anything on the market.
Yet, BMW costs go up and parts and labor go down
