Looks like the USA is Skipping SMG ( which isnt very nice in non M cars) and waiting for thr new dual-clutch ZSG gearbox ( similar to Audi's DSG gearbox ) that is supposed to come out with the 335i

I am glad that I didn't wait for the smg. DSG is really amazing...I testdrove an Audi A3 with DSG transmission. The car upshifts and downshifts in just a blink second. Also, the gear changing is so smooth and fast. Let's hope that BMW will offer the similar one in the future.

Bump for those that havent seen it

Manual tranny's are a minority, SMG would just be a small fraction of those cars. I bet they hardly sell any SMG's, especially the lesser model which is different to the tranny on the M3.
