I agree. The initial production info leak may have been from an official document but because of its age, and the fact that there have already been updates posted makes me believe it's no longer 100% accurate.

Then again, I've never had an issue with the MT in the E92 M3 either. Hell, I'll even go as far as saying that I prefer it to the E36 M3 trans.

A new DCT unit for the M2 would be expensive to R&D, since this is the least expensive M car. The M5 unit would be too heavy, I think so 6MT and 8ZF will be offered. No DCT. Just sayin.

I disagree. There was a DCT available for the 335is and not other 3 series. Furthermore, we know the DCT from the one series (same unit as 335is?) can be paired to this engine. I understand your reasoning, but I think that the DCT R&D would not be overwhelmingly expensive.

Then again, there are folks making 400 TQ on 135/335 platforms, so it should be good. |

You're going to have a choice. It's not going to be a one tranny car.

Car and Driver is claiming manual only now also.
I don't get it, BMW will lose so many sales if they don't offer an automatic. People are assuming it will cause them to bump up to the M3/M4. But that is assuming they won't leave for another brand. |

The M235i, will become a 235i next year.. with the options (DCT), or BMW M-Performance parts catalogue to make any 235i... essentially a M235i. How can you miss the logic..? |

It's certainly possible that only the US gets the DCT option, and we see a near production version at Detroit. |
