Are the rumors of a twin clutch gearbox true? He said that the M3 will be available with a twin clutch gearbox, and it will have a different name than SMG.
Bummer, I really thought we'd see the manual tranny versions sometime this year.

Best guess from everything I know is that US production starts 12/07, so figure 2-3/08 deliveries.
