2011 528I F10 Manual Trans availability in USA?

redvitesse · 04-05-2013, 10:04 AM

Went through a search of the forum but could not get a definitive answer, as early on in production I read that it was not an option when ordering.

Looking to move into the F10 but would rather stay with a straight six but I do need to have a Manual and Sport.

Anyone that can confirm that these are on the streets please chime in. If you own one hit me with your opinion on the car and ownership experience.

Thank you in advance

Not.

Only the 535i and 550i have been available as 6MT in the USA. The 528i has only ever had the 8AT.

Thanks for the confirmation. Looks like I will have to break one of my rules as a price to entry into the F10, Automatic or Turbo's.... Think I will go with the rule that yields more power.

By the way nice color combo on your F10. This is close to what I have on my e92 and manual of course.

You're going to have to go turbo at some point. Starting in the 2013 model year, I think everything BMW offers in the US is turbo except the E92 M3. And that's going away in a few months.
