I'd have guessed it could be a Getrag/Magna 7DCL750 though if it is going to be a road car. The ZF 8 such as in the Bentley Conti is still a unique to VAG product isn't it? Or what about the Roma/SF90 8DCL?

If the thing is anything other than a small modern csl like the hommages of the past few years, it will be another sales disaster. Bmw cannot compete in the high end market, 911 gt cars own this. |

The CSL hommage from a few years ago is even larger than the 8 series. It would have to be ~5% larger than the Supra/Z4 platform to really compete with the 911/AMG GT. I would love to see BMW put out an equitable car, but it may be tough without significant weight reduction and putting the weight in the right places which may be difficult with such a long motor |

That's definitely a 6 cylinder, and it sounds like it's revving pretty high :O
I guess technically it -COULD- be a 3 or 12 cyl, but that sounds pretty identical to the B58, save for the higher revs |

The 4 is already larger than 8, I wonder where the 6 would slot

If it would be an M4CSL, why wouldn't they use an M4 chassis for development.

Stick this powertrain in an M2, cut the weight, pair it with a manual and/or dual clutch, and let the engineers have a field day rather then letting the bean counters control everything. |
