The BMW M division creates the German brand's high-performance products, but the market for them is changing. In the future, expect to find automatic transmissions with torque converters in the high-performance offerings. These details come from Dirk Hacker, Head of Development at BMW M, in an interview with Top Gear.
"The double clutch, from BMW M’s point of view these days, it’s gone," Hacker said. "It's now manual or automatic, and automatic electrified for the future."
