Curious to know how manual f30 owners here

'13 335i 6MT/RWD here in NJ

Keep in mind the responses here won't represent what you see on the road, the vast majority of F30's on the road are autos, but most of the manuals are owned by enthusiasts who happen to frequent forums like these. Obligatory pic:

A very rare sight to see indeed! I've only ever seen one other Melbourne Red M sport in Colorado!

Woah! F30 with full F80 M3 interior!

Must have been an expensive conversion

Include a pic if you want.

Just trying to get an idea how many manuals out there.

2015 335i Estoril Washington State

Been driving BMW's for 11 years now, proud to say I've never ordered any BMW (excluding SUVs) that weren't in the 3 pedal club. Only way to truly enjoy the car!

Whalen Shift Machine. Unfortunately they are no longer making them. I was lucky enough to buy a few before they shut down the business. They are 18 oz of stainless steel with a neat compressor fitting type locking system.

Love a big grippy knob but do you cook your palm everyday during the summer?

My GTI had a satin steel ring around its knob and I always had to drape a cloth over it during the summer so I didn't burn myself.

MacklinUSOB · 04-05-2021, 07:57 AM

Not many 6MT 28is around. Here's mine.

apascutia · 04-05-2021, 11:49 AM

12' 328i. 82k miles. Have owned it now for 5 years.

It took me 6 months to find my car in 2016, ended up having it shipped from VA to CT.

Park in the shade or cover it. Not a show stopper...

I wanted RWD, 6-Cyl, and 6MT. Stumbled on this beauty. It just called to me.

dmaxdmax · 04-06-2021, 07:21 PM

Not sure you manny drivers know you can code the 'gear' so instead of just showing up and down arrows and telling you what gear you should be in, it tells you both the gear you're in and the gear it wants you to be in.

There's a thread about it...this is what you get. (I used Bimmercode)

You get arrows telling you when to shift? My F32 is the same year as your F30 and I don't have that. Interesting.

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.

My F32 has the gear-you-should-be-in enabled, but not the current gear you're in. Maybe yours was coded off?

Idk, that stuff never bothered me much. I've def hung out in 5th gear on the highway and not notice it until I glanced down at the dash so it has been helpful IMO. Around town, you choose the gear that best works. But I see no reason why I can't be in 6th gear going 45 down a long suburbs stretch either.
