The most difficult aspect of supplying a MT for this car is the ordering/factory outfitting logistics and maybe inventory. That's it.

When I said "development costs" I mean logistics/supply chain, not traditional R&D. |

I was hopeful bmw would put the 8speed in the x1. I'm sure the 6sp auto is the cheaper unit of the two so that's probably why they stuck with that given the volume they are anticipating to sell. Plus the car weighs pretty much the same as the e90xi so why not?
Still like to know if the f31 335i is US bound:-) that will make things tough.

Maybe they'll put the 8spd in with the N54 in the X1 M35i --- an I can slap my tune and meth kit from my e92 right in --- I can dream right?!
I just want an SAV that has 450whp, runs 11's, gets 30mpg highway and tows my boat on the weekends --- is that so much to ask?

I thought he said it will only come with the N20 but don't remember him saying no manual transmission.

Think you're right. Sorry, guess I just assumed that since they didn't offer manual in E91. I looked back and Scott26 said he assumed the would bring it if they offered F30 328i with manual, which they did. We'll see.

How can we get in touch with this guy to let him know we really do demand a manual transmission in the X1?
And while I'm at it, he's probably the one to beg for the 1 series hatch as well. My current 1 is proving why I wish I didn't go against my original intentions of getting a hatchback, and though the X1 looks like a good solution as well, I'm not driving a slushbox. So short of the mini countryman getting prettier, BMW is going to lose my business on my next purchase.

Also, that should be "don't" not "didn't". E91 is still in production until 6/12 and available for order currently. |
