Official M-DCT price in Sweden and disturbing news

[bmwm4f82]

My dealer called me today and he just got the pricing for 2MK in Sweden. 38000 SEK (USD 5800!)

He did have some disturbing mail from BMW regarding the production, which was (and still is) set at week 14 (last week of March). The bulletin states that the build week can be delayed at any time. The exact build date won't be real until the car goes "red", ie, in production. So, BMW says you will know when you get the car once we build it!?

I am probably one of the first people to actually get the 2MK option added to my configuration. I wonder if that has helped at all...

What exactly is disturbing there? The build date is always subject to change until the car goes into production.

I have bought 3 M cars over the past 5 years and the production date was the definitive date. No changes. But now, they flag for uncertainty - I have not experienced that in the past with BMW.

At the beginning there will be a limited amount of DCTs. As the DCT option became available very late, they don't know how many people (of those who have ordered some time ago) will switch to DCT. After all, I think, the delay will be no more than a few weeks if any.

In the DCT announcement it stated limited DCT production until June 08. After that no limits on production. I'm guessing BMW will do one production run of DCT builds and yours is part of it. This would explain why it is indetermined at this point. Preparing for a limited production run.

I thought this only applied to the US
