Wastegate

Would it be the consensus that an '18 M6 would almost certainly have an electronic wastegate? Seems unlikely a mechanical one would be found in this holdover MY.

I would suggest that any M6's currently in production will have the exact same engine make up and configuration. It doesn't make sense for them to make changes to the engine design when the car is at end of life.

Thanks, that was my conclusion as well.

When did e-wastgate start, 2017 or 2018?

Don't know but the dealership race team chief looked up the build details and it shows only a mechanical wastegate. The dealership verified via their regional office. And the race team techs took the engine cover off a '18 M6 on the floor and verified it has mechanical wastegates. Learned all this early today. They also said no M6 has yet been built with an electronic wastegate, fwiw.

Weird, Dinan claims some 2017s indeed has electronic versions

The DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner currently only works with vehicles equipped with mechanical wastegates. Vehicles with a production date of 07/2016 and newer MAY have a electronic wastegate and will not work with the DINANTRONICS Performance Tuner. Only a visual identification is 100% accurate. Please consult the wastegate identification guide HERE to accurately identify what is on the vehicle.

Yeah, I saw that. No clue.
