2008 BMW M3 to get 7 speed DSG style gear box
According to Autocar.co.uk the 2008 BMW M3 will get a 7-speed double-clutch gearbox as an alternative to the standard 6-speed manual.

Official confirmation of the 7-speed transmission came through a document issued to BMW dealers confirming the 2008 BMW M3's specification.

The new gearbox, called M DCT, will be available from March 2008. The M DCT transmission is made by BMW’s long-term partner, Getrag. This 7-speed transmission will provide nearly imperceptible shifts.

The speed of a double-clutch transmission is likely to improve the 2008 BMW M3’s 4.8sec 0-62mph time by a few of tenths of a second.
The M DCT transmission should offer significantly smoother shifts than BMW’s SMG transmission in the M5 and M6.

The transmission will be controlled by a combination of a shift lever and steering wheel paddles.

Other options for the M3 (on sale in September) include 19in alloy wheels and electronic damper
control. The carbonfibre roof will be standard. 2008 BMW M3 to get 7 speed DSG style gear box Gallery: 2008 BMW M3 to get 7 speed DSG style gear box
