at all the auto haters here.

Out of the four cars in my household only my turbo 98 Civic EX is an MT. That said, I have never once wished I had an MT while driving my 07 AV6, 05 Murano or 00 Quest (the last two of which Nissan neglected to avail an MT option [red] [/red])

...and I would wager that most of the manual "enthusiasts" posting here only know 'heel-toe' as two parts of a foot.

Nice looking Bimmer tac. I would snag that one in a hearbeat if I were in the market.

I know how to heel and toe and do it regularly, thanks.

In terms of the discussion I think MT just means more to some people than others, that's all.

Eh with 51,000 miles not too bad but Bimmers are expensive to maintain especially with 51,000 miles on them.

THAT would be the caveat I am inclined to agree with.

if it was me I'd go for a new 335 Rear wheel drive. it's only 33 less hp than the reg. M3 Without the ZHP. so only 43 hp. plus the 335 is already boosted so swap turbos and shit like that your turning crazy hp.

HUH?? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mixed ZHP with ZCP.

The OP isn't talking about a M3 it is a 330 ZHP, then I would have thought all the slushbox talk in the thread would have pointed to the fact it wasn't an M3.

There was no power added packages for the E46 M3, the S54 was always 333hp in that chassis.

I double clutch heel toe regularly. Why, you ask.... because I can and its fun breaking the wheels loose in 1st.

Just to give you guys a perspective, my stock, manual 95 Integra LS sedan (with no radio) was more fun to drive than my mom's 03 TL-S. That was the turning point at which I realized I never want to drive an auto ever again. .0000000000003 of a millisecond shifts are cool and all but it just isn't the same without a clutch pedal.
