He's in here in the US where, in recent years, BMW NA has made automatic and DCT transmissions standard equipment and manual transmissions a no cost option (when they are available at all). Along with series vehicles like the 3, 4, 5, and 6, the M5 and M6 are also offered this way. So I would say that there is actually a very good chance the M3 and M4 will follow suit.

The net result, by the way, can be assumed to be a higher base price than what may otherwise have been, not a free DCT.
