Selling my current one. Returning it to stock within the next few weeks. Most of my major aftermarket stuff (exhaust, CF body work, suspension) is already spoken for. I will be asking $35,000 as/is or $37,500 with extended warranty (until 2011 or 100,000 miles).

The 7-speed is the next version of SMG. Coupe is supposed to be 4.7 0-60 and M-DCT is 0.2 faster to 60. BMW understates these (my car will do 4.7 with a good hookup and they stated 5.2 when the e46 was first released). Most people are expecting just under 4.4 on the 6MT and under 4.2 on the M-DCT.

Only time will tell what it really does.

Thanks guys.

The M-DCT will pull on the 6MT. They are saying unless you are powershifting you are gaining 0.2 seconds per shift by going with the DCT. Add that up through a few gears and goodbye mr. manual

I hear that, I had to wait 24 1/2 weeks for my car!

Congrats, I know an SLK that will be interested to see how it compares through the 1/4 mile...

marshallpre1 · 02-01-2008, 04:43 PM

Yea waiting sucks. I had to wait 10 years to get my car (well, I mean I loved it when I was 12 lol). Anyways, your car will be ridiculous...

Scapegoat · 02-01-2008, 05:36 PM

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. As for the 135i, there have been a few people on the M3Forum who have test driven it. They say it's pretty freakin' sweet.
