Thanks! Yeah I was originally going to order with the red interior, but I changed my mind at the last minute. I think I would of gotten sick of it after a while.

Your car is beautiful! Congrats.
I've had the car since Thursday, and I have to say that I'm happy I made the decision to get the manual. I haven't driven a manual car for a while, so it took me a day to get used to it again. I actually learned to drive manual in a Ferrari 360, which seems kinda crazy in hindsight, lmao. I've driven alot of different cars in the past, between my parents' cars, my brother's cars and friends' cars. The cars I've been driving alot recently are a 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 and a 2011 Range Rover Sport. Both cars can be shifted manually in their sport modes, and that's how I drove them. Automatics just annoy me. They make me feel like I'm not in control, and I don't like that. As far as the gears go for the 328, I can tell you that I find myself in 3rd pretty quickly, but I'm also the kind of person who pushes way north of 4k RPM most of the time. However, the automatic transmission for the new 3 series seems way better than any other I've driven before. I'd still drive it in manual mode though, that's just how I am.

aren't you disappointed with leather quality ?
I'm kinda sad that I don't have Xenons, but I can live with it. And I'm not disappointed with the leather at all. But I also wouldn't care if my car had cloth seats. Ok, maybe a little. As long as the car has a 3rd pedal and 6 speeds on the stick, I'm happy.

OP. LOVE your interior, especially the 6MT! Very, very nice.

Congratulations!
I agree with that, and thank you very much!
