A lot of millennials get a pickup truck for their first vehicle these days, let alone all the auto and DCT matics of newer cars.

Finally as an added note. Locating 6MT 330 models can be difficult locally , depending on how well BMW CCA club racing is doing in the area. They is a spec E46 class where the 330 is the spec car that is used. If my daughters car had a roof on it .. I would have traded her back because the E46 is the new E30. These are fairly simple to work on , rather reliable when kept in stock form , and there is a great support network on the internet with E46 forums whether you want the car as a daily commuter or as a race car.

Stop giving me ideas.
