remember what happened with bmw and the e60 m5. car was never designed to accommodate a real 6 speed but they made it work. sometimes car companies actually listen to the enthusiasts.

Looking at the photos of the engine and trans mission that have been posted, I have to wonder what a manual transmission would look like and and weigh. Would it would throw the balance of the car out of whack if they tried to put one in.

While I am in the minority group of Id rather have a manual, it just doesnt make financial sence.

Are they going to sell less cars because of no 6-speed? I bet its not many, people who want this car, will still buy it.

When you spend so much money on the "ultimate newest exotic" ect ect most people want the newest best transmission as well, and this that just happens to be a flappy paddle tranny.

True enthusiasts will want a 6-speed. Unfortuantly, true enthusiasts only make up a small percentage of the people who buy these cars.

just my thoughts

Correct..also keep in mind another major factor is the cost for the factory to stock two types as well as differnt installation style and wiring harness, causes a slow down on the line and two froms of training for the employee. ALSO for the USA the manufacture is "required" to maintain a stock of 10% of ALL items sold on a model for warranty and recall services for a period of 10 YEARS from date of last manufacturing and available to the public...so agian they have to "stock" on the shelf replacement parts that are not heavily sold.

I of course AM a 6 speed guy. I am in the process of working with several talented people in the are of this issue. We may "switch" a new car to the 6 speed manual gear box our slefs afer obtaining the car next year.

Roy,
If you guys do this, let me know. It would be awesome to do a photo documentary.
