I'm curious what's M-specific about it, considering these are the same ratios as when the GS6-45BZ came out 15 years ago. As far as I know they've never made any changes to the gearsets, though I know they've messed with the synchros, clutch, and bellhousing. Perhaps "M-specific" means Toyota messed with them, and BMW kept it the same? I would be surprised if it was the other way around. Also curious if this'll be labeled "GS6-45BZ" like previous manual B58's, or "GS6L50TZ" like the Supra. That might give us a hint as to what M-specific means.

From C&D's December preview: The transmission is the same one used in the Supra, with uniquely tuned linkages and bushings to arrive at that trademark BMW shift feel, which is somehow simultaneously aloof and precise.
