MT folks! Urgent regarding xdrive

G80indy · 01-28-2016, 10:04 PM

Manual tranny folks!
Is it true that only the 340x will let you check manual tranny?
I tried for the 235x vert and 435x vert
No joy

Is the MT becoming extinct??

Hm I could be wrong, but I think for a while now, for non-M cars, MT hasn't been an option on verts.

Pretty sure in the ordering guide you can get the manual transmission on the 340 x drive in USA

only xdrive manuals that you can buy in the USA are
340 xdrive
435 xdrive coupe (soon to be 440)

No manual on M235 xdrive
any X28i xdrive

and THAT's why I ordered a RWD 228i coupe....I wanted and ordered a 6MT !

Why do you want xDrive? IMO it's not a requirement in the midwest unless you live in a hilly area and Indy is very flat. There are far more MT options on RWD cars and winter tires can take care of the traction you need.
