G20/G21 G30/G31 318d/320d/520d with manual transmission

Anyone who has driven the 318d/320d or 520d (G30/G31 pre-LCI) with manual transmission, please share your experience.

Is the manual transmission setup eligible for the same tuning outcome (as the AT version)?

What? Not sure I understand your question.

Manuals can't take the same torque as the auto's so...

Sorry if I was unclear.

1/ What is the 6-speed manual transmission in the G20/G21 (GS6L40LZ) and G30/G31 (GS6-45DZ) like to shift with (long or short stick travel, distinct etc)?

2/ 6-speed manual GS6L40LZ/GS6-45DZ Vs 8-speed automatic ZF 8HP: max Nm? Could the rating be 400/450 Nm max for these manual transmissions?

Don’t think here in the Uk we ever got the option of the G30 with a manual transmission, so you may struggle for tales of experience of that setup... I think they did on the continent though.
