7-speed M-DCT Debut in M3!
According to "Leftlanenews" the M-DCT 7 speed tranny will debut in the M3 sedan at either Los Angeles or Detroit..........
The report cited the shift lever will be similar in style to the X5/E60. Opinions? EDIT: Sources (thanks gtb75) -- http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/18/b...x-in-m3-sedan/ http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/b...earbox-in-tow/ http://autotelegraaf.nl/vanonzeredactie/?id=44404 |

That shift lever is fugly and will look very out of place in an M3.

Hmm... M-DCT should be awesome if there are no bugs in it. I am pretty sure I will be going with 6MT myself...

Plus, I can see the reviews now saying things like, MDCT just further complicates the Mdrive settings or just further removes the driver from the experience.... Either way I think 6MT is the way to go..... Jason

Add me in - MT is the only way to go! And it amazes me the number of people that complain about M3s being too tech laden then sit out waiting for M-DCT! Go figure.

Hey 6MT people:
Have you sat in an M3 and tried it? I don't know how M-DCT will be but I have tried 6MT. I it feels clumsy and imprecise, not exactly what I expect from an M car. Even the standard 6MT of my Z4 feels way better! So I'm not so sure if 6MT is the way to go... |

Manual, even if it's clunky is always better.
