Dunno if it's "new" to forum members.

Why is no one paying any attention to the keyword STANDARD in reference to 6-speed Manual Transmission . Doesn't that mean the 6-speed Manual Transmission will be an option until SOP 09/07? Maybe I'm being an optimist because I dont want to wait until September for the manual.

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to -- as far as I know, the 6-speed manual will be available from the get go. The only thing that document indicates is that the manual will be available on the 535 models starting with 9/07 production...

Are you saying you are looking for a 535i manual or are you saying something else?

I'm saying based on the Strategic Planning document:
  • 6-speed Manual Transmission Standard (SOP 09/07 for 535i/Xi models)
Does the word STANDARD in that statement refer to the manaul transmission being an option initially and will become a standard option in September? Or I'm too much of an optimist?

What it means is that manual transmission is standard on all 5ers but on 535i/xi it can only be had starting from 9/07 production. Since the steptronic is a no charge option, you will have to specify if you want it or not except on 535i/xi where it is only available with automatic until 9/07 production date.
