E90 M3 DCT Ordered Tonight

93HardTopTurbo · 03-19-2008, 10:38 PM

So after test driving a fully loaded black on black 6sp E90 tonight, I ordered mine with the following:

Premium, Tech, & Cold Weather packages, DCT, 19" wheels, and iPod jack.

AW / Fox / Carbon leather

My CA was cool and bought me the cargo net for the trunk.

End of May delivery was what they told me. Can't wait!!

asaulo1 · 03-19-2008, 11:07 PM

End of May delivery? that would be a pretty fast turnaround.... COngrats....

hkwallace328 · 03-19-2008, 11:35 PM

murellus · 03-19-2008, 11:49 PM

I've been informed by my dealer that E90 m3's will be available with DCT starting production in mid April

Big Windy · 03-20-2008, 02:17 AM

nobody seems to know...

MrHarris · 03-20-2008, 04:55 AM

lol yup

Keto · 03-20-2008, 10:08 AM

What build week? My coupe with DCT is still week 19....

03SG///M3 · 03-20-2008, 10:10 AM

I really want an E90 w/ M-DCT Black on black

chasem3 · 03-20-2008, 10:56 AM

I say your dealer is not being accuarte here, My DKG that was march production got pushed back until may due to shortage of supply.

I highly doubt that your newly ordered sedan will come out before mine.

Call 800-831-1117 and ask for yourself to verify all this.

93HardTopTurbo · 03-20-2008, 11:27 AM

I should be getting my production number today. I ordered it at around 7pm last night and they closed at 8pm. The sales mgr. told me that he'll enter my order into the system this morning with a 111 status. He said that after that it'll take around 10 - 12 weeks to get the car. So that could mean end of May or mid June but he thinks end of May.

Bottom line, I don't care if it's May or June. 2 extra weeks isn't going to kill me. I'm just happy I'm getting the car.

grkmec · 03-20-2008, 12:51 PM

according to my dealer, the system will not currently except a sedan configured with DCT. If you got an order through, please share what week production and production number

93HardTopTurbo · 03-20-2008, 12:59 PM

I'll ping my dealer today and see what he's got.

93HardTopTurbo · 03-20-2008, 01:38 PM

Speak of the devil... my CA just called. You guys were right. Late May production for late July / early August delivery. Oh well.

I'm still grateful that I'm in a place in my life where I can afford such a cool car.

Cheers.

I thought you might have sneaked one thru. dang.

Hans Delbruck · 03-20-2008, 05:18 PM

August..... oh man....

I might place an order next week after a test drive

93HardTopTurbo · 03-20-2008, 07:45 PM

It handles surprisingly well in the rain for a 414hp FE/RWD car. I just couldn't stand the 6sp as it felt very rubbery and a little notchy from 1st to 2nd. I'm sure a UUC SSK will take care of that right quick though - it made a huge improvement in the shifting feel of my '01 330ci. And no, I'm not starting a 6sp vs. DCT war here - just voicing my opinion.
