Looking forward to pics. Smile

Shhhhhh don't shatter the illusion for people who have their entire masculine identity wrapped up in how many pedals their car has. :wink:

Yes, it is the second best transmission you can get in an M3

By that you mean people who actually enjoy the driving experience, engagement with the vehicle, and the skill to row through the gear correctly? :dunno: Kids these days.

Sorry it hasn't been 8 months, I like to keep just a little bit of suspense. The dsg is amazing, don't knock it until you try it, I have plenty of skill in actually shifting gears dct is just indescribable fun, keep an eye out for a manual car I'm picking up this weekend there will be a thread for it. It's was just the exact specs/price I wanted that's why I went so far. Car is getting its rod bearings done in the next couple weeks so I don't blow anything up, straight pipe is on and sounds glorious.

ok so heres some pictures, many goodies are coming in the next week or so since I sold some old camaro parts. Gonna make it a fun daily but still unique, it is so weird driving a stock car other than headlights. By the way the headlights are one eighty headlights and they look nifty.
