If it was a 3-Series Coupe or a Roadster it appears that a manual trans does not affect them as greatly. A manual transmission in a 3-Series sedan or a 5-Series is more of a challenge to resale.

Yes, cheap leather too... :biggrin:

I'm planning on getting that aluminum "ice" something trim, also during my Euro Delivery trip. I think that one is optional with the M-sport package in certain markets, sadly not in the US.

Spend a couple hundred dollars more, and get exactly what I want, I gues...

I think you are right. Took me awhile to sell my ZHP 6sp sedan, although part of that was also the color (Imola).

But it was an absolutely peach of a car, done just the right way... and I didn't get what I thought I would either, after waiting all that time...

Here's a silly question, but is BMW wood trim real wood trim or what? I sort of like the gray poplar look.

joelk · 10-10-2007, 06:22 PM
