I think that the 335D will be automatic only as well. I believe it is that way in Euland as well... the manual tranny that fits the 3 series can't do 425 lbs/ft of torque reliably
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/225030/bmw_3series_facelift.htmlBMW 3-Series facelift. Hot on the heels of the all-new 7-Series, BMW has pulled the wraps off its revamped 3-Series.Changes to the front end include new lights with LED indicators, revised bumpers, less chrome on the grille and a more distinctive creased bonnet. Fresh, larger mirrors grace the doors, while the restyled rear lamp clusters also include LEDs.Inside, the 3 gains the latest, simplified iDrive cabin control system with a larger LCD monitor, and has sockets for connecting MP3 players to an 80GB hard drive. All engines get BMW’s EfficientDynamics technology, and a new 245bhp six-cylinder diesel debuts. Coupé and cabrio buyers can opt for the seven-speed dual-clutch box, too. The revised car arrives in September.
The front at 1st glance looks better, but the longer I look the more fussy & over designed it seems.....M.
