Yes, that is my 2 year old in the picture. Yes, the M3 has the child seat anchors in the rear. The E93 has a plastic trap door so it is actually much easier to get them in and out than my wifes 2007 X5 - she is jealous. My guess is that the E90 and E92 have the same.

perhaps I will do a serach to see what people think regarding the two trannys...obviously you like more traditional gear box!!!
It was actually someone who was getting a great deal on a 08 M3 but it was a 6MT and he thought he wanted a DCT. He did not get a really good chance to drive the 6MT in Toronto traffic and was worried that it would be too difficult with all the power, so I took him out for a bit through the city to show him how easy the clutch is on the 6MT once you get used to it.

I was also somewhat neutral on the 6MT vs DCT issue, both have merits but utimately I like to have a clutch, and it has never bothered me in traffic. There are MANY threads on DCT vs 6MT, so I would do a bit of reading on the forum. If you start a new thread just put your flame suit on
