if they make it standard the the price will go up even more
what they should do is let us add it as option on any car not just the x35i

Hope BMW would made a rear wheel drive with DSG gearbox at the same price

what the sales told me during test drive at repulse bay was that basically the oldest generation such as the x6s are out and models like the e90 lci, f10 are availalbe. I didnt ask abt the z4 but since its too soft to your liking and lotus is now fairly affordable, that should be an easy choice for you.

thats the problem w the tc engine from the current generation, they use a smaller turbo to make it easier and smooth but lacks the omph!

I dont understand why bmw just switch to dct completely either, surely the price will come down further when they mass produce.
