and also comes with a rebate from Government? Where do I sign up??? Better question, where's "alefcole"? This should be in his garage

Unfortunately the big bosses of BMW will not bring to the USA the diesel in the COUPE version. Even worse, they say they will not offer a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, giving us a lame excuse that the manual gear box will not be able to handle the torque. Thats BS!!!!!. You can get a manual in europe anytime. If they would offer a diesel manual coupe, i will be first in line with my order.

That's so frustating! Why BMW is doing this??? You think we can start a online petition for manual transmission, at least?

Very frustrating indeed, plus with a 4k premium over a similar 335 coupe, my car will be around 50k. At that point I will forget the fuel economy and jump for a 55k M3 sedan with no options. (Now that they face lifted the sedan version, the back doesn't look as awful as it used to).

And that's if a bmw dealer is willing to sell a M3 at MSRP without "price adjustment".

What do you guys think?.

PS: I will still go for a 135 with just sport package for 37K, and hopefully get a deal for under MSRP. Similar M3 performance for 1/2 the price
