I'll settle for auto-manual.

It's funny, VW is pretty clear that it is automatic, but if you search for a manual BMW M3, you get 70% of them that are SMG.

We are an APR dealer but regardless the ECU has to come out so if you check with a local dealership near you and they don't have the new programming cables to connect directly to the ECU, simply remove and send it to me and I will send it back to you the same day.

The price is $599 for the software, and I can offer you a second program free such as stock, or I can upload your ECU fully loaded for $149 more. I will pay for the return overnight shipping.

Ducky - Yeah, I've heard the dual-clutch system in the GTI is not bad at all (doesn't shift as fast as the GT-R or PDK). This is what I'm looking for. I'll never buy another single clutch system again.
