Wife's latest 335i mod . . .
Sez a lot about the direction of auto manufacturers making less and less truly manual cars.

At least BMW is keeping a 6 speed manual on the option list for the new 3, including the 340.

The principle is good, the sticker is ugly as sin.

true but if it didn't have a graphic of a tranny, people would think my wife was trolling for love.

a friend is looking for a new car-she tells me, as devotee of a stick, "Scott, I can't have a manual any more, I HAVE to drink coffee on my way in to work." I tell her, you're not my friend any more, I've lost all respect for you. I used to drive a 10 wheel crane with a coffee cup on a 6 speed, 3 gear transaxle vehicle-you can do it woman!!

Haha, I drink coffee on my way to work. It only takes a few seconds to take a sip. Does she hold the coffee in her hand the hold time or something? Is she constantly changing gear? That's a really strange excuse.

Agreed - and although I don't drink coffee, my car has a couple of cup holders conveniently located in the center console -
Maybe she is double clutching or drives a semi

I agree, it is a really strange (stupid?) excuse and the height of laziness. I literally told her "I don't know you any more, you're a disgrace to all drivers." She got a little pissed. . .
