No, I think Kris is actually right on this one. I just looked on their website, and I couldn't find anything about a 6-speed manual. Strange thing is, on 5th gear, they said it came with 3 different transmission chioces (auto, semi-auto, manual), all 6-speed boxes. Maybe that's only in Europe.

99% of cars with cages and a harness are sub 12.00 second cars.



It's ok though I got humbled twice in 2 weeks by the same crappy looking camaro from a dig. Highway roll on was a different story though.

Maybe you skimmed over it, but follow these instructions


www.bmw.com

-under automobiles
>Go to start page
(either compact of video doesn't matter)

Click> "6" at the top

Select> Coupe

On the left hand sideclick , "All The Facts"

Then "Engines And Chassis"

Then "six speed transmission"

And the article posted is...

The shorter gearing on the 6 Series Coupé further underlines the car's sports-performance character.

Yeah, the US does not offer a manual-equipped 6 Series, while most oher countries do.

Yes it does, if you go to BMWusa.com and you build a 645i, and you get to toptions or packages, one of them, you can choose between an SMG or Auto. If you do not click either, you have a manual.
