Impossible to find manual trany in socal?

I have been looking for some time now for a 335i coupe in manual transmission and it seems impossible. Do they even exist down here? Is it possible to still order a MY2010?

MT is pretty rare. No more 2010 can be ordered. The factory started producing 2011 MY the beginning of March.

Sad truth is, this is true for a lot of cars, especially the more luxurious ones.

I am from Socal and was in the exact same predicament a year ago. I had about 5-6 BMW dealerships searching for a 335 with 6MT. It took weeks before a dealership in Santa Barabara of all places to locate one for me.

GL. Don't settle.

Just be patient. It took me three months last year to find my car, and I was searching almost nationwide. I got really lucky that this one popped up with pretty much exactly the options/packages/color I wanted.

Took me a long time to find a 6MT too... when I bought mine, there were 2 more 2010 6MTs left in SoCal.
