Anyway, here are a couple more shots of my ugly color combo. I hope it doesn't burn his eyes ... ; ))

I think an M3 is where I'm headed. I passed up on the M last time because of the lack of all wheel drive (I live in a snowy, hilly terrain). I might just have to get 2 cars.

No.

You told us our car bores you, which is worse.

Comments like that only help expose a very basic lack of understanding, bro. You want to dress like Superman, try acting like him. He was nice to people. He helped people. If Superman bought the wrong car he wouldn't swoop down in front of hundreds of it's owners and show a PowerPoint presentation of the reasons why he was unhappy; he'd merely park it at his fortress of solitude and keep his mouth shut.

The 8 speed auto in the F30, is hands down the best auto gear box I have personally ever experienced. And I consistently hear that it is almost as good (and fast) as a Dual Clutch. No doubt. This is not meant to be a knock on this specific auto transmission (ZF8). It's great. And yes, it can definitely shift better, faster and with much more precision than I ever could. If I were on a race track, and I was worried about fractions of seconds making or breaking my time ... I would pick the auto, no doubt.


It's not about that. It's just very difficult for me to articulate. Once you go manual, it is increasingly difficult to go back. It's a different driving experience.


Think of it this way. If Google develops its "self-driving" car, and that becomes your next car. How much fun would that be compared to your current driving experience? Not much. It would be much less engaging and less fun for you, I would assume. It's pretty much the same thing.
1. Find a 6MT F30
2. Test drive
3. ???
4. Profit!

Just like mine. The best colour combination.

I will take the car for your asking price of $658.00 plus tax which you have advertised and are legally bound.

Where are you located?

If I could live with the bad color scheme I might pursue it.

There are many, many stories - especially on the Internet.

There are even more reasons why your scheme would fail. This is not even a first year law exam issue. Do not fool yourself.
