Just got back from a short trip with a friend in his 2014 535d. Apparently there was a short span of time in which there was a US version of the 535d. He bought his (US spec) while stationed in Europe and brought it here last spring, so not sure about this. It is the 8-speed but perhaps this engine spec is also an option for a transplant?
