I ordered this car in manual just to remind them that. And I would pay more for the manual if we need it. |
I have to admit that there is a bit of regret that I didn't order a manual. My first cars were all manuals, I've been driving manuals all my life. I think that missing the manual is going to be inevitable. It's a shame that the top trim level M3/4 is an auto, not even a DCT. However, I'm convinced, for the most part, that experiencing the first AWD M3/4 was worth losing the 6MT, simply because
a) I have no realistic direct control in BMW including a 6MT in the Comp X-Drive. I could get a 6MT in protest, but that's not really worth it because…
b) …I only plan on keeping this car for 3 years and I can probably pick up a 6MT LCI once I scratch this itch. Besides…
c) …if were to choose the last 6MT that I will ever get the chance to own, it will probably be a Cayman GTS or GT4.
