Is it good? The facelift M5/M6 will probably get it too which means even worse resale value of the old one

That will be no concern if you happen to find M5/M6 with a manual tranny.

THanks for the review on the DCT. I had high hopes for this tranny. I'm gonna have to check this out when it's time to get rid of my 3.

i passed by Vista today and finally saw the new M3 in the flesh - simply amazing

saw an IB coupe (6spd) IB 4 door (6spd) - also first time i saw the `135 -- i really really like it

also saw the great travesty - X6 -- damn that thing makes me cringe

the salesman told me there was one more M3 in the back with the DCT - didnt know whether it was a coupe or sedan -- but im keeping my baby at least another year
