Final E92/E90 M3 Production Numbers and DCT/MT Take Rates (NA and Worldwide)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com E93 LCI M3 is still in production, so no data yet. Looking at the data, 6spd in the M3/M4 will be dead or US/Canada only option soon. Last edited by SickFinga; 07-11-2013 at 02:22 PM.. |

Dare I say there was some bias at the start of production of the M3 towards the 6MT? There was a 3 month delay for DCT and for an E90 build. At least that's what I was told when I placed my order in Feb '08....otherwise I'd own an E90 DCT instead of an E92 6MT!!
Not that this would account for the vast majority of 6MT sales... Just a thought!

The post-LCI take rate of the manual in North America vs. the rest of the world is pretty wild...
DCT : 6MT NA: ~2:1 RoW: 10:1 to 20:1! The sour aftertaste of the SMG kept many away from the DCT at the beginning, I think. Once it proved robust (and fantastic), sales followed. I'll always have at least one true manual in the stable, get too much enjoyment from it, but I look forward to owning a car with one of these great new dual-clutch systems (DCT, PDK, DSG) before long.

find that interseting also. we are the only ones hanging on to the manual which seems odd as the other side of the pond seems to be more enthusiastic about cars in general.

Most other country can't get the manual because it is not offered.
I still think it pretty healthy number of manual users in the country.

Add on top of the delay of the DCT, IIRC, most of the reviews of the M3 were with DCT and they were extremely positive of the DCT vs. the SMG from the E46 (and how bad it was on the M5) so I'm thinking the media falling in love with the DCT also contributed to that as well.

Thank you for posting this up! I'd like to know the year to year breakdown numbers as well if that data is available please.
I wonder how many E90 ZCP 6MTs were brought into the US? Obviously I'm hoping the numbers are low to help me sell my E90...

Nearly 50% of E93s manual! What's that about convertibles being a non-enthusiast cars?

By LCI, BMW had most of the kinks out of the DCT software. That's my theory.

You can still build it and they will try to find the car you want.
