My GTI had the shift indicator and it drove me nuts. It was set to max economy and usually wanted me to keep the RPM's so low the engine would lug. I learned to ignore it.

You have no idea how hard I looked for a 6mt 340 in MG...had to compromise for the AW
Ha! I was the opposite. Wanted AW and ended up with MG.

Those badges don't belong on the fender, right?

Regarding my "M" badges on my fenders, in the US, came on the car: The paint on them is fading, so I suspect they are also aftermarket. I don't care for them and since the car already has enough Ms on it to begin with, I will probably remove them and not replace them

It's only because the same people who will travel cross-country for a manual car are the same ones who will be active in a forum for their car.

A forum like this isn't a very good population sample. I don't remember the actual numbers, but from what I've read in the past the take-rate on manual F3X's was very small...something like single digit percentages.

That's because those of us who own one will be holding on to them until we give up driving altogether.

There's a thread about it...this is what you get. (I used Bimmercode)
How do you do that can u send link to thread please??

I hope this helps...I know it's a little sketchy seeming, but it was very simple in bimmercode.

Hope I included enough for you...if not, search around here...there are a few threads...but all I did was reverse two SPA settings.
