SMG/DSG gearbox for the BMW M3?

Boshhaab · 11-18-2007, 08:21 AM

Does anybody have any solid information on when its due to start production? I have asked the dealership here in Dubai, and im getting a different answer from every salesman. One told me he knew for certain that the M3 would be shipped with the new generation SMG on April. Another one was also quite certain that it would only be available after August or so next year..

Anybody know of any confirmed dates? Have BMW even announced that they are going to be using anything but a manual gearbox anywhere?

Thanks.

Use the

function.

Which dealership did you ask? Dubai's(AGMC) or Abu Dhabi's(Abu Dhabi Motors)

I asked the SA in the Shiek Zayed road showroom when M-DCT(not smg anymore) is going to come to Dubai and he said around March which is the same answer i got from the SA at the Dubai Motor Show.
