E92 M3 Monroney Label Clarification

I was looking at the monroney sticker for this vehicle and under "Mechanical" it reads "6-Speed manual transmission with additional oil cooler and heavy-duty dual-disc cltuch" but under transmission at the top it reads "7-SPEED M Double Clutch transmission -inc: Drivelogic." But the pictures for the car listing shows a 6 speed manual transmission.

I guess my question is, was this originally a DCT that got converted to 6 speed? Or was the Monroney sticker just off? It has both 6 speed and 7 speed DCT.

Thanks.

That window sticker is obviously a reproduction, not what came with the car, so the details may not be 100% accurate, which they aren't.

Everything on the left was standard equipment, and the 6MT was the standard no-cost transmission on these cars - DCT was $2900. DCT is not listed under 'installed options' so my first thought was the DCT notation at top right is wrong.

Only way to officially confirm is run it through a VIN decoder, which shows this car having a 6MT.

The label linked in your post is not the original Monroney Label but rather a reproduction from a company that sells these (the website of the company is even printed at the bottom of the label).

The best way to find out the list of original (including optional) equipment in the absence of the original window sticker would be to run the VIN using a decoder, as stated in the post above mine.

Thanks to you both. I did and was just skeptical since the VIN Decoder and the Monroney reproduction were all not official unless the VIN decoder are official in a way. Thanks again though.

The VIN decoder doesn't lie
