Do you think the new M3 will be intro'd w/SMG, then later get DSG?
What are the odds?
Do you think BMW will phase out SMG in the E92 M3, after a year or two, in favor of a dual-clutch system? Or will the car be introduced with a DSG? |

i doubt it ... it costs the company major money to do a major change like that in the lifecycle of a car ... def aint viable ... it will most probably be an SMG III type box like in the M5 ... ya when the new iterations come out maybe then a DSG ... but im sure the DSG will first see its appearance on a 7

Highly doubtful
SMG II was not ready when E46 M3 was launched. E60 M5 got SMG (and for a while) SMG only right from launch. This was SMG III. We have already heard that the new M3 will come with SMG III and I'd bet it comes right from the begining with SMG III. If the car lasts long enough a DSG option may become available but I kind of doubt it. They will want to debut it in another car (as mentioned elsewhere).
