I have recently inquired about a different engine in the ss model because of my desire for a manual transmission instead of the offered mostly auto transmission. My request came about with a discussion one of the american dealers had with Charles Morgan at the centenial. My desire the present BMW M3 V8 with their manual transmission setup as I reason the size/weight differentials to whats in my S4 today cannot be that much different. I have not got a response to my formal request yet.
Love the ss lines, not a fan of the transmission setup.We will see what the response is.
