The local BMW dealer that we use has told my father it will be early next month before he can place his order for a car due around next summer. Unfortunately, they don't know if European Delivery will be available for the first year of M5 sales. Also has anyone heard anything else as far as the 6MT option is concerned? I've seen more BMW test cars on the interweb with the manual, but have not heard if it will be offered in the first year of production.

Thanks, JC
