We were disappointed to see that BMW launched the new M3 Sedan with only the six-speed manual gearbox when we know that there’s likely to be a new dual-clutch gearbox in the works. We now have confirmation that a seven-speed gearbox is planned for the M3 Sedan and even have the final gear ratios thanks to official documents from BMW.
There’s no mention of any release date or in fact if this is for a dual-clutch gearbox but it’s expected that BMW’s M3 will receive the innovative gearbox design eventually. We originally predicted that BMW would launch it in the new M3 four-door but, according to Auto Telegraaf, officials may wait until sales of the conventional manual cars start to slow. BMW still has to unveil the Cabrio and Touring versions of the M3, so the launch of the dual-clutch box may coincide with either of these.

World premiere for 4-door M3 will be for Tokyo Autoshow.

Erm, that's no confirmation whatsoever that the M3 is getting a seventh ratio. There's a hyphen to denote that there's no ratio available for seventh.

WTH? is that greek?

It only says worldpremiere for 4-door M3, nothing about DCT.

My bad - I didn't mean to quote you. I was referring to Bartek's post above yours. The part where it says:

Tokyo Motor Show: Practical performance with BMW's M3 Sedan


There hasn't been a BMW M3 sedan since the E36 generation, but that doesn't mean BMW has forgotten how to build a fast saloon car. The M3 Sedan takes everything good about the M3 coupe and adds two doors to the mix, allowing you to better justify the purchase with your significant other. BMW has thrown out the standard headlights on the sedan and replaced them with the lights found on the coupe, giving it a more sporting design in the process.The basic specs are all the same as the coupe.

^yeah great..bring it in that ever exciting silver colour..
good call

WOW! I have not been around for a while, but I have to say that this car is beautiful! Great job BMW!
