I'm not sure I'll ever own a manual again.  |
I took a manual E92 328i on trade Thursday because the owner specifically wanted to replace it with an automatic, but nothing was wrong with the car otherwise...I actually enjoyed driving it across to pre-owned for the appraisal.
As you see, BMW is not the reason behind the decline of the stick shift.
