It's got me thinking, if the engine ends up being a BMW variant, they'll probably be a manual trans you could buy brand new for a few k that would bolt right up. In the event this car doesn't come manual I'd just swap mine.After closer look, there is certainly enough space and looks like there is a chance.
Although it looks like getting into 1st would be annoying with that angled dash piece by the shifter.
Lets hope all that gets sorted with a Manual Tranny !
Not to get too technical but swapping anything would require much more than a few bolts and custom mounts. Until the ECU is cracked and you are able to disable most of the safety features and signals coming from and to the stock auto trans I don't think you'll be able to drive it at full power. Not to mention no cruise control, ABS probably, traction control, TSS and whatever sensors were used in the auto.It's got me thinking, if the engine ends up being a BMW variant, they'll probably be a manual trans you could buy brand new for a few k that would bolt right up.

Oh I'm aware, I just put a 370z transmission into a JZX110 Toyota Mark II and even with that being just over 15 years old I've had to get an extra chip made by a guy in Russia installed into my ecu to trick the car into thinking it still has the Auto so it gives me full power, doesn't throw codes, etc.Not to get too technical but swapping anything would require much more than a few bolts and custom mounts.

I was thinking this yesterday... if I like the car then do I want to get in early? But if there is a higher spec I think I’d rather wait a little bit (particularly to see the pricing options).I really wish we knew when the higher end supra was coming. I wanna be a day 1, but I want the high end model lol first world problems.
LOL, it’s from the BMW reject pile. Hummm... you guys can have this one since we won’t be using it.I really wish there was a hole here instead if this hunk of plastic
I like that steering wheel a lot thank you Very much sir! Good day to you!If it makes you guys feel any better, it looks like the wheel from the Avalon, aka the other steering wheel you would have gotten if this was an all-toyota project.
