Can't have all those 'torques' and have a manual gearbox. Could see this coming when the 335d torque levels needed the auto and software to cope with the diesel grunt.

Really makes sense to use an autobox, where torque transfer abilities are of a stronger design.

I sense we'd need a new type of manual box design, to cope with first gear torque multiplication with current torque levels.
