My dealer says that paddle shifters won't be available on the 535 till June production. Is this true or he's just trying to sell me whatever cars he has coming in (without the paddle shifters).

It's true. Paddle shifters come with the Sport Transmission which won't be available until summer.

That's correct no BS. Not till June Production models. I was hoping for it also when I added the sport package. :thumbsdown:
