Hey, on the plus side, at least the 3's AT still has 6 REAL gears. No CVT here! My last few rental cars with CVTs have reaffirmed to me that I DEFINITELY do not want one. Esp with auto stop/start. Haha.Quote:

Whoa! Ok! Subscribed!Quote:

The start stop died in my car a few weeks after me continually hitting the disable button. Winning.
Attachment 393984 picked up this 2012 128i M Sport slicktop. 83K, clean. AT. Hard to find decent MT 128s. Got impatient. Will still be fun.
I will be very eager to see how it goes as I've been keeping my eye out for one. I inquired about one last week but didn't get a good vibe from the seller.Quote:

Saw a MT 2008 135i coupe with 75K miles at Weatherford BMW in Berkeley listed for $16,500. I didn’t want the N54 turbo engine though.Quote:

Craigslist link
2009 manual transmission, 105k miles, 10.5k supposedly firm price, appears to have a good service history.
I'd prefer the coupe, but they seem rarer and the vast majority I've found are automatics and transmission is a bigger priority to me. It might be fun to have a convertible for a bit.
Convertibles rock

Ugh, I was looking more closely at the pictures trying to determine trim level and I believe that it is an automatic, despite what the ad says. In the picture of the instrument cluster, it's in "P" and googling the shifter, it certainly seems like it matches the automatic. I assume it has paddles for gear selection or something.
Not all have paddles; need M Sport (or maybe sport pack) to get paddles and sport seats. Check out 1addicts forum.Quote:

Prolly easier to find a 135i manual, but then it may have been tracked, etc.
Convertibles are def fun; had a 1988 e30. Depends what you want.
I found out the guy just messed up in the listing. I assumed that it was some sort of automated manual, but nope. I'll keep looking.Quote:

And yes, that's my RX-7 as well.

I actually did keep both minis in a single car garage.
I imagine a few drunk college football lineman on their way home from a bar could park one of those Mini's just about any place.

With a pack of Mentos, and girl next door looks, there's nothing you can't do!
Change that to drunk female college rugby players and I witnessed something like that once.Quote:

Absolutely beat the shit out of it and it held up for quite some time. Wtf was with the TRX sized tires , that wasn’t ideal…. Great bar car in the city.
First car was a 65 Corvair. Had it for 5 years. It was a car. It was small. And it definitely was fun. Rear engine made it the best car I've ever driven in the snow. On or off the road. A flat floor was great for hauling and on date nights.
