Want a luxury car? Buy a Benz.

A manual transmission isn't a draw. Its antiquated trash. Especially when putting it up against the ZF 8 speed, its a liability.
Besides that a 320i is absolutely priced like a luxury car. $35k, no leather, no Nav, no camera, no HIDs, no nothing. For the same money you can get a Camry XSE, with 6 cylinders, a full compliment of cameras and other electronics, Navi, LED headlights, leather seats and more space. Plus, it will put down better numbers than a 320 in virtually every handing or acceleration test, and be way more reliable. Buying a stripped 320 over one is absolutely buying for the badge.
