I don't realy care how good BMW makes their automatics. It'll always lack the involvement and fun of a manual. Plus, shifting yourself eliminates all the problems associated with ATs and their various programming issues.

For a car like a 911 I would want a stick.

It would clearly not be my daily drive like my X5.

Point taken but your opinion might be different if you knew how to drive a stick......my point is this... it sucks that I can't find a 650ci with stick on the damn floor.......Phil

You should be prepared to order a new BMW if you plan to buy anything with a manual transmission. And you should be prepared to travel far if you're looking for a manual CPO BMW.

The manual tranny was only available in the 3.0i....and I couldn't do that small engine. *not trying to dis anyone on the board* it just doesn't have enough juice under the hood for me.....Phil
