Getting new 1 series in September with new 3 Liter Engine

[stylinexpat]

The new 1 Series with the new 3.0 Liter engine arrives here in Taiwan in September, Placing my order today for a manual with the new 3 Liter 6 in-line engine. Manual has to be special ordered here as the standard for the Taiwanese people here is an automatic with no manuals available. After I get that, I will be installing the new ESS Supercharger on it, should be a screamer then..

was just told by BMW Taiwan that they will not order the 130 in Manual as there is no market demand in Taiwan for the Manual transmission and in Germany now they are only producing manuals on their assemble line. They said Automatics and SMG'S will be on the assembly line next. Am very unhappy that they won't meet customer demands here. I found 5 others willing to buy and they refused. We sent a letter of complaint to BMW in Germany that they will lose car sales to anoter car manufacturer because the distributor here in Taiwan refused to order the cars that we wanted. Total of 6 manuals needed and they refused to import as they said they will only import automatics, if this is the case they will lose sales to another car manufacturer. Hope BMW in Germany sees this and makes them order the cars to meet customers demands and satisfaction.
