BMW's Tom Purve

Market wants a manual, so a year after the launch of the M5 they will introduce a manual. Similarly with the M3/M4, depending on the market, they many even introduce the manual earlier..

Relief for all the purists :thumbsup:

Thanks for the information.
The Market has already spoken for the E90M3. It was decieded approximately a month ago that the E90M3 would have an updated 6MT of the current version in the E46M3.

Hopefully it will be the standard transmission or no charge option, instead of a $2000 option.
