Delivery is currently 2-3 months, but could be quicker depending on the dealer. I recomend going to all local dealers and pricing up new. Tell them your doing it. Discount of 10% is achieveable.
Yeah the manual's seem to be few and far tbh mate. I think after the rave reviews BMW's 8 speed got its swayed a lot of buyers with the M135i. I've always driven manual, but I must admit I think I'm going to go for my M135i in automatic. BMW approved UK have 8 auto's listed on their site, with only 2 of them north of 30k. I've been advised by family members that you can still get a percentage of the list price when buying used. I'll have to give it some thought first
