How much of that is transferable to the V12 is a good question. The max continuous torque figure for that Getrag (550Nm) is below the torque peak of the M120 V12 (580Nm), but not by much...

Good find! But yeah, that's scary expensive. I imagine that thing, shipped, woudl be closer to $15k. I suspect that a repurposed BMW 6MT would be closer to $3-5k, no?
