However, for the E90 though there's a strong distribution shift for pre/post LCI so the 6MT cars are much rarer in the LCI years due to the late introduction of the DCT in 2008 model year E90 cars which essentially all are 6MT. I think the main reason was all the E90 launch cars BMW built solely with 6MT (i.e. the 2008 model year E92 is near even split 6MT/DCT).

6MT/DCT data:
pre LCI 2080/200
post LCI 1055/2532

Hence if one is shopping for an LCI 6MT E90 M3, your odds of any given car being a DCT are 2.4 times greater than it being a 6MT.

In the first post [COLOR="Blue"]in this thread[/COLOR] there is a pdf link with all this data and more.

If you're looking for zcp e90 m3 it's a whole other problem. combine with other rare things it's going to get even more difficult like slick top, 6 speed, paint color, seat color or material preference, rear fold down fucking seats, and no nav. Then you want one that's low miles, one owner, maintenance records, no accident etc etc the list of possible cars is pretty thin.
