Does anyone have any idea on when it will be orderable? I know it will be available from March 08, but when will it be on the dealer system so you can put your deposit down and get a build slot?

Rather as with the manual car most people - including me - who want one probably put a provisional order in a very long time ago with the intention of chopping in their manual car for the new boxed car when it arrives. If you didn't do this I don't imagine you'll get one next year. My dealer recons he's looking at Autumn '08 'at best' for a manual car if you order now and Spring '09 or later for the new gearbox - IF deliveries start next spring. Same with CSL - my dealer has a massive list of provisional orders for that car too.

Yes, I've already put a holding deposit down for the DSG-equipped car, I just want to make sure I call my dealer, spec it, and get a build slot ASAP.

Cool - me too! In that case you should have no worries. My dealer reckons March but thinks BMW may withhold any info 'till Jan for fear of knocking early manual sales. Same thinking on CSL apparently which will actually appear MUCH earlier in the new cars cycle than the prev. one did.

Would it be greedy to put down a deposit for a CSL one too? (One manual, one DSG, one CSL..)

I think two different ones will be enough for this driver, don't want to spend my life in M3s of various flavours. smile

And besides, the CSL will be ridiculously expensive!
