M550i to come in manual/DCT aswell
New list of model designations seems to confirm Manual and Auto versions of M550i

MECH = Manual transmission

I don't believe this before I see in an official price list.
Seeing how there's been less and less 5 series models with a 6MT, I see no reason there will be a 6MT M550i, especially in Europe. That mech might mean something else than a normal 6MT, maybe a DCT or SMG type gearbox.

On the list the new info comes from M3/M4 with DCT are listed as "AUT"
So we dont know for sure yet which manual gearbox it is, 6MT or DCT

Me too. If I thought there'd be an MT M550 AWD, I'd be standing outside my dealership right now waiting for them to open so I could place my order!

I don't think its a manual at all, why would they bring a manual to the 5 series. The M5 doesn't have one, nor does the new 3 series, and on the least selling model? No way. Also DCT is out too I think, i'm pretty sure BMW won't make another DCT at least not for the 5 (maybe the next M2/3/4?), as again, the M5 has a traditional Zf 8 speed, so why would a lower model get a DCT, something thats been reserved for M cars and "is" special variants (135is, 335is, etc.)
