its posible considering its already an option overseas. however, iv read that the DCT may not be in production much longer.

no, only in europe. the US gets the steptronic

eltoshan · 09-24-2009, 10:52 PM

There's zero chance of the current-gen E9x models getting DCT. Maybe when F30 comes out, if at all.

if you had ordered the DCT you would've known cause you would've paid a lot more for it. also DCT does not exist ANYWHERE in the world with xi.

+1.

The only manutronic that interest me is the Porsche PDK, and that's because the performance gains are pretty phenomenal.

J-boogey · 09-25-2009, 04:56 PM

shiettt... im not gonna lie im a little disappointed the u.s. doesn't have that transmission. I guess i'll make due with the paddle shifters.

Yeap... 1525$ option ... very reasonnable compared to the one offered (more advanced) in the M3.

David9962000 · 09-25-2009, 06:42 PM

I wonder if the DCT is heavier than a manual?

DOUT · 09-25-2009, 09:37 PM

M-DCT will only be available on the e92 lci m-sport as an option in the US starting in March of 2010.
This is confirmed, please don't ask me how I know.
It will not be on any e90 though, only coupes

J-boogey · 09-26-2009, 12:41 PM

so this transmission will be available in 010 for an 011 3 series?
