I was rather surprised to find out that pretty much every 2012 135i that has arrived at any dealer within the surrounding states was ordered with DCT. I'm going with a straight 6-sp on the next car. Now that they have a little over a month, it looks like they're trying to designate a car that is currently in production or allow me to order a car to spec. I'll keep you guys updated on whatever happens.
As frustrated as I was with how this car turned out, I have to say I was really upset to see it go down my street for the last time  |
Great. It's good to hear it finally worked to YOUR benefit, as it should.
This sucks though for those of us who are seriously considering a DCT BMW. My options for next year are a 135i DCT or Audi TT DSG.
I hope BMW gets a handle on what the heck is going on with their DCT.
Looks like I may go back to Audi for my next car, and then back to BMW once they get things worked out.
