TOTALLY. oh hey and let's not forget the dude stuck in a starbucks drive thru waiting for his chai latte; arguing with people that his car's nurburgring lap time is 2 seconds faster with his dynamic DCT gearbox yo....
I think In general people are just being misled to begin with. They believe what they read! Ohh, the internet said so....it must be true?

This newer generation of kids don't even know what to look for in a car? What good handling or feedback is?

I really stress it among my boys 19 and 14, and the oldest knew how to drive a MT at age 15.

He is recently the new owner of a 2002 330i that I picked up on BAT for close to nothing! However, he can appreciate the car and how it handles and drives and he loves rowing his own gears! Pretty cool! But, sad thing is he is the only person his age that he knows that can drive a manual 😩

Here is a pic of his new (to him) ride 😁
That is a storming deal. $8500 for a car with 63k miles on it?! Looks clean as hell. Looked up with BAT sold auctions....non-ZHP but has ZHP wheels.
Thanks!

Felt like I stole it! Car is in fantastic shape and drives like a dream. Just a very fun engaging car to drive

My son is thrilled with it and now all his buddies want to learn how to drive a manual....but, not on this beauty! lol!!!!

Best thing we really figured out when we got the car was that a Dynavin System was put in to replace the OEM Head Unit. They look 100% OEM but now gives us Bluetooth phone, Bluetooth music, navigation and a backup camera!!!!! It's effing awesome and brings the car up to date. Here is a pic of it...
