I was soooo close to getting a manual. I was more interested in a Touring Sedan. Nice of BMW to give us the option. Not gonna take a 40K car on the track. Nope, wouldn't be prudent. :tsk: I've seen too many Mario Andretti wannabe's biting AARMCO barriers. I figure I'll get a old POS Miata if I wanna go the track route. Besides, a point & shoot car is very handy in the Boston area. :angel:Plaz 330i said:
