Dear all,

What a day - after 9 months my Plus8 finally arrived in Switzerland and believe it or not; I ordered a 6 speed auto gear box and they built my baby with the manual gear box.

You should have seen my face at this moment ...; however, folks does anyone of you dive the plus8 with a manual gearbox and can you share some experience please?

Does anyone know if this gearbox is also from BMW or is it from a other supplier?

Thank you guys and try to post some pics for you.

Regards,

René

Unbelievable. Refuse to accept it. At the price you should get what you wanted or get a substantial discount.

i would assume he would of signed an order Document, therfore it would have to be debated who made the error Firstly, before rejection or liability was established. rtm

it looks like, my dealer did for what ever reason not order the right gear box ...

however, is there any experience with the manual gear box and is this a bmw product as well?

thank you!

I was terrified of this happening. So, when I saw my car at the factory, I took the liberty of lagging behind the party to stare at the paper stuck near my car which read:

I went specifically to sign off my plus 8 in the trim shop and guess what, there where some significant trim errors to my spec. But before I left that day the guys were stripping it out to correct the errors.
