6 speed no longer available?

hk328 · 10-04-2011, 08:31 PM

I don't seem to be able to build 2012 535i with 6 speed any more on BMWUSA.com? Does anyone know if I can still order one with 6 speed or is it off the menu?

In Canada you can't...

yes you can. The configurator is wrong. They are increasingly rare, so you probably have to order one.

I am planning on doing ED early next year, as soon as the weather turns

As long as I can order one with 6 speed I will be happy.

My 2012, 535i is a 6 speed. Taking delivery 17 Oct.

6 MT is no longer available on the xDrive versions, even here in Europe.
But we still get 6MT on the RWD, except the 535d and 550i.

This is confusing because as recently as last week you could show the interior of the 535 with a 6 speed manual as the default. Now it will not appear as anything other than the auto. It will not de-select the auto. The main reason I have this car is because of the stick!

As has been posted, it's just the infamously bad US configurator.

Again, freaking software codes. There are so many versions of the F10 in so many different countries that the web developers, have to write codes for all the different countries. Surprise surprise, it doesn't work all the time. It's actually done on purpose, to prepare you for the same experience with the cars.

Seattle has a 2011 sport manual on special if you want to see or drive one. but then again you probably already have and are comparing a build to the one in stock.

Anyone verify if the 550 is still available as a manual?

@mswaz: I am actually going to see and drive the exact car you are talking about this weekend. I have been considering an 335 E92, but recently changed my mind about it. And go for F10

Glad to know that I can still order 6 speed

Yes. Confirmed by my SA this weekend as I'm considering whether to pull the trigger now for a 550 or wait for an M5 stick.

I have a 6mt 550 msport on order currently being built
