I kept the topic on the transmission noting that DCT transmission can do what I observed in the video, including "rolling backwards". But if you want to move the topic to the engine, my answer to your assumption would be, Possibly, but not likely and no evidence to lead me to believe that the test mule does not have a gas powered engine. If I were to say NO, the test mule does not have a gas powered engine, that would be an irrational unassumption as I have no evidence to back up a "sure" answer. ![]()

I totally agree with the personal enjoyment aspect along with everyone I know (unless they are unable to drive MT). My mum and dad now 60ish, still drive manuals. |

Come on guys, the German exhausts sound like crap. They have to be TUV compliant, which is english for "too damn quiet."
The American aftermarket exhausts sound much, much better than anything you will hear or see in Germany (or a German video). The american version of the car is going to sound much nicer than either of these videos. Quote:

Are you really going to argue against the car rolling backwards at ~2:20 before going up the tiny hill when entering the parking lot? In fact, if anything, this suggests the car doesn't have hill-assist like my 2008 does. This car, not the "M1" in general, clearly is a stick and does not have a DCT or automatic. I think it's pretty clear given all of the other information we have that DCT will be an option. This specific mule does not. You don't need a pic of a stick to "prove it".

I think the M1 sounds very similar to the M3.
Just check out the sound when it goes up the little ramp through the barrier. This sound remembers me like the last day an M3 passed by very slow... |

Theirs no way in hell an inline 6 FI, will ever sound like an N/A V8 that revs to 8400 RPM. You must be kidding? |

I don't care what "other" car it may sound like, it sounds great in the video.
![]() The sound coming from the car at 1:26 when he downshifts is freaking excellent!
