Yes, it's apparently available through the "priority one" order system.

I'm pretty sure EDC is not required for MDM mode because I am believe you can option an M3 without EDC but with MDrive in Europe and elsewhere. I think there's even a forum member with a car like that. Nice thing about MDM is that potentially it could be unlocked via aftermarket solution. Sport-Plus throttle too probably, and maybe even the Sport steering. The only problem to solve would be the interface to enable them. Could be adding a new button (something for the empty spots below the radio) or somehow use an existing one. With a little more ingenuity, an aftermarket MDrive equivalent could even be created I think. This would probably take a lot of R&D though and might end up costing too much to be worthwhile. But for CA, it'd be nearly impossible to add after the fact. Even if you could somehow get all the right parts, installing them would be a major, major undertaking and certainly be cost prohibitive. |

Completely unknown at this point, but individual is usually a no-go at this point. LSB can be ordered though, but with a very nice and high price...

No, that's not my point at all. My point was that it is such a different animal, comparing shift times is like comparing apples and oranges. Definining the exact parameters you want to use to measure shift time is easy in a conventional manual or SMG. With the DCT, it's not so clear-cut, so I'm just not sure "shift time" can be a relevant comparison.

For the sake of argument, lets say there was a malfuction and both clutches fully engaged. They would both be turning in the same direction, just 1500 rpm (give or take) different. One or both clutches would then be slipping that much and yes, wear out very quickly, but the wheels aren't going to lock up. Last edited by MysticBlue; 04-12-2008 at 09:23 PM.. |

Thanks for posting all the info! It is also good to know that BMW NA checks out the board too. Hopefully they will incorporate a lot of our feedback into production... Thanks again for typing all of that up!

He is a marketing guy and the questions that are unanswered are technical. Can you get him to commit to a follow up? Lucid can you please ask the following:

Skierman64, great job with the write up. Since I was there with you, I can say that you accurately conveyed Mr. Koch's answers. We all appreciate the time it took you to type all of the answers for us. Thanks again!

I can practially guarantee you won't get answers to questions #1 or #2. He can't talk about future products or changes unless the info has already been release by BMW AG or BMW NA. As far as question #3, he mentioned that the performance parts are currently aimed at the E46 and E9x 328 and 335. But he didn't know what future products are in development for the E9xM. Hopefully he can expand on his answer he gave the meeting I attended.
