I am wondering,
Why is the new aero 8 shorter length and lower height with an automatic transmission?
I had assumed the aluminium chassis would be the same for both.
has this been the case for previous post aero series cars?

It is the same. The figures quoted are incorrect.

Perhaps those are the tolerances and you take the average.

It is already a 'Limited Edition'. It is limited to the number they can sell whilst BMW has agreed to supply the engines wink
