If they would have chosen a 5-type with I6 and direct fuel injection (N53, as common in Europe) and the 8-speed automatic, the results would have been closer together. No question, that the turbo I4 would also have won in terms of figures, but only with a very narrow margin.
Is it really a 6 speed auto on the 6 cyl. 528?

I thought all F10 have the 8 speed auto gearbox.
