When can I order my M3 with M-DCT?
"Regular" (=MT) M3s can be ordered now and will be delivered from September. What I get from the current rumors, the M-DCT will be available around March '08 (always talking about Europe). So do you think an M3 with M-DCT can be ordered around December/January and will be delivered March '08? At least that's what I would hope for...

Would be nice if that were true. Not sure if it is though, but sounds logical. I am hoping BMW will surprise us and the M3 they debut at Frankfurt will have DCT/DSG.

It will only go into production in the March 2008 changes
So you cant have it delivered in March, only built then

M3... i was responding to the premise of his comment, which i don't believe to be accurate. BMW won't release the trasnmission until it's tried and true, which is probably why it's not being released for many months after the M3's debut.

It's just an advice of my dealer, no more.... Agree that in case of BMW will replace it's boring when you buy a new car. In fact it seems that at the beginning of the M5 with the new SMG3 they had a lot of issues with the it and it's why he advices to wait a little bit.

And yes, they'll replace it, but if they're putting a faulty product out there, how long will it take them to find the fix? You go ahead. I'll wait. |

that's a pretty big if. manufacturers of bmw's repute don't just release new transmissions without extraordinary amounts of r&d. and given all that, i have absolutely no problem being the first on board for the new transmission. by the time you've sat by long enough to determine whether the dct is up to snuff... the rest of us will have owned and enjoyed the car for months and months and months.

I would do the same; I just can't afford the first-year-deprecation twice...
