3.M diff not confirmed but they are hoping to offer one as an option (if it does make production it will not be standard)

Engine: Car Magazine says "The highly strung, bi-turbo engine sounds very obviously forced induction, with a whooshing rush of air dominating the soundtrack as the revs wind out. The yellow rev limit area starts at 7000rpm, slipping into the red by 7500rpm. We spend most of our time hovering around the red; it sounds exciting, with a light pop when the driver backs off." This is definitely
not the 335bhp/340PS engine planned for the Z4 sDrive 35is. The Automibile mag article (see first post) talks about an engine with identical performance data compared to the Z4 sDrive 35is engine. Doesn't look like anything engine-related is confirmed except FI I6. Time will tell ^^
DCT: Agree, many (credible) sources are talking about 6MT standard, DCT optional.
Rear axle diff: All the current mules spied are equipped with a LSD. LSD was mentioned by insiders here several times, so there's little chance that the 1M coupé comes without LSD.
