Are all 40d's delivered in Australia 8 speed?

I did a search and found conflicting information, but my guess is that they all are.
can anyone confirm this?
I am looking at a used 40d which was built in March 2010.

No I don't think they all are.. 2010 is likely a 6 speed.

Watrob will know & I'm sure he'll chime in at some stage.

I thought all LCI X5 should come with 8 speed transmission.

March 2010 should be a LCI unless it has 35d badges

I just looked and your right all 2010 MY11's have the 8 speed bar the //M.

Wish they put the 8 speed in the M!

Yep, the one that I am looking at is a 40d not a 35d.
The owner says that it is 8 speed.
I just didn't want to fly up to QLD from SA and find that it isn't the 8 speed.

If its a 40D, then yes it is LCI, and 8 speed ZF. Did you get it?

I didn't get the used one, I got a 2012 demo Platinum Gray with Oyster and 7 seats.

Get you/your wife to start dressing classier to match the car. I'm sick of cleaning blue jeans off the drivers seat weekly with oyster. I was speccing up a 40d, 3rd row at two dealers when Melbourne BMW came to me with a car I couldnt refuse - black 40D, 3rd row, side view, soft close, heated seats, tv, 20's ( I swapped to 21's ). I think all 40D's come with roof, innovations ( heads up, comfort access, tailgate, premium nav...) sport seats, side steps. Driving my old territory with the six speed ZF auto seems like such a clunker now.
