Default 2012 manual Transmission!!!

hi guys, the dealer they have 2012 IS 250 manual, they updated with all f-sport, lower spring / shock, bar, eshaust, etc. ..
i take a test drive, incredible, changes speeds super smooth, no rattle in first gear, the sound of the exhaust fspor wonderful.
anyone know if the transmission 2012 is different?
I have a 2011 spor package (9000km) and believe me nothing to do with this 2012.
maybe jeff can say anything about it .. sorry im spenis guy thanks

Well maybe my short shifter makes a difference, I think it's better without it, but in first gear the car is wonderful feel strong, axhaust fsport determines this?
Thanks Jeff ...

yes quick shifter and **** fsport, but trust me my friend that 2012 is great, the transmission the best in the world, Jeff is a very knowledgeable person told me that equals 2011.
This is a 250 basis no leather seats, no sunroof, but they did upgrade makes fantastic ....

No lo compres.

They are just upgrades you can do to your current car. And you will lose leather seats and sunroof .

Since the car has no LED headlights I would say that it looks like they added all the Fsport stuff to a base model 6MT.

Agreed. Keep your car and mane those mods, you'll save money that way as well.plus as stupid as it may sound I know I wouldn't buy a 2011-2012 without led headlights, just bc most of it are supposed to have them.

There are no F-Sport 6-speed manual cars.

I wonder if other members [with MT] have the same sentiment as "jgarrido" regarding "F-Sport Short-Shifter & **** Combo" . . .

I was about to purchase this mod/upgrade but now having second thoughts . . .

guys a week of having my IS 250, buy (sewell) the quick shifter, so I do not remember as it was before the transmission, but when Prove this 2012 wow, the best manual tarnsmision the world, forget Bmw.
Please driven a MT 2012 ..... and then one with quick shifter,
I do not know but for me the quick shifter is like driving a truck.
Maybe I'm a fool but what is good for one is not good for the other.Undo edits..thanks
