Manual trans were cheaper, better MPG and fun to drive.
Then it was just better MPG and fun to drive.
Now just fun to drive.

Congrats on the MPG BMW, but please don't take away the manual option.

Owned 8 BMW(s) all manuals.
Having own 3 manual ///M I am planning on ordering only manual to help them stay alive.

They are just to fun to drive.
