2020–present G01 X3 xDrive30e (PHEV Version)

And the 228 bhp version...2014–present F56 MINI JCW Hardtop and JCW Cabrio (320 Nm)[9]
2017–present F56 MINI JCW Clubman and JCW Countryman ALL4 (350 Nm)
2015–present F22 225i
2016–present F48 X1 25i/28i
2017–present F39 X2 25i/28i
2019–current F44 228i Gran Coupé xDrive

So I don't see any problem for MMC to offer a nice, slick BMW manual box.

Without going nuts and checking out every model you mention, how many of those are in-line rear wheel drive?


Top point Peter

I’m guessing, not many

G30 is RWD
F22 is FWD
F32 is RWD
G01 is AWD (but has North South layout)
G02 s AWD (but has North South layout)
G01 e s AWD (but has North South layout)

F56 is FWD
F56 is FWD
F22 is FWD
F48 is RWD
F39 is FWD
F44 is RWD

So at least 50% are RWD?


Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

Well that hopefully means the manual gearbox version should be a good option then

I’ve nothing against auto boxes. I wouldn’t be without one for my daily driver as I drive about 40K miles a year and have done for 25 in business as I have clients all over the country

I just like my Morgan to be a completely different experience and a manual gearbox is part of that experience

I completely agree with that. A manual box keeps you in close contact and control with the car and enhances the sports car experience.

Will all be revealed today in Geneva?
