My guess is that US bureaucracy like crash testing, etc will keep the M-DCT M3 away from the US order bank at least until this fall or 6-8 months from now, and it will be one of the major additions to the 2009 model, including the convertible.
Going by that, I will take my dealer's first 6MT M3 in March and enjoy it and decide next year whether or not I want to upgrade to an 2009 model with M-DCT after the first few examples are evaluated by other forum members.
