Swamp-
Thanks for sharing the adventure/experience! I very nearly had a similar one in Athens last September. My wife and I were on vacation right about the time of the initial launch. As she is a tree-hugger and certainly not a car lover, we skipped the unknown-length taxi ride to the dealer who may or may not have had a copy. IF I had done the work you had pre-trip, we could have pulled it off. We are also hikers. Perhaps a trip to Palomar will be needed sometime soon? My car arrived at Bremerhaven today. Hopefully I can pick her up in April? |

swamp,
You notice the similarity between this sales person's opinion of DCT and what me opinion of the gearbox is like Quote:
Quote:
I look forward to sampling the gearbox in something which isn't turbo based and with a much higher rev range, it will be interesting to see what this multiple modes offer and see if they are only marketing BS or actually useful in their entirety. |

Thanks swamp. Nice read. I'm glad it was a positive experience for you.
I can't wait to see one IRL. Hopefully only another week or so before my dealer gets one of theirs. |

You look great! Your posts would suggest you might be wearing a pocket protector, so call me pleasantly surprised... hehe (not that one should be "judged" on looks, ugh)

Great writeup about a great car! Nice pics too.
The only thing I wish was better in the new M3 is the interior.. it just looks like 'nothing special'. |
