    DCT Tranny, similar to the smg from the e46. Supposed to cut down 0-60 .2 seconds.

    I'm not sure if that was sarcasm but 2 tenths of a second should be quite noticable. The dual clutch tranny is pretty hard to find.

    You have obviously not driven one. I rented one in Germany and took it to the Nurburgring. The DCT is amazing. It shifts wayyy quicker than you ever could a manual transmission. Plus paddle shifting allows you to keep both hands on the wheel all the time. It was also nice to have the full automatic function driving in the city. The only car I would take over it is a 997 Turbo, or a GT2. I always thought BMW's were over-rated status symbols. Now, I want one. 414 HP + DCT + 51/49 weight distribution =

    If it's not a vette then it must be, right?

    Saw you in the Kmart parking lot yesterday Umair, taking pictures of it. Don't tell me you are selling already.
