Absolutely. I loathe the curved one giant screen thing now

I disabled it ages ago. Besides the fact that I dont like it and it saves little to no gas, I can’t imagine that is good for the car long term

I prefer mg bmw to not resemble a lexus, so the f30

Have the 8speed ZF auto in my F30 and I love it. But I miss rowing gears and am looking to get a 2nd ‘fun’ car that will definitely have a standard. Drove manuals in L.A. for yeeeaaars before going over to automatic and don’t miss it for some of these godawful commutes; gets to be tedious. For driver involvement though, no substitute really for manual, if you know you know, etc. Again, the auto is great but will be looking for some sort of e90 6 spd coupe 2008-10 328 or 35 to have some fun in. Maybe an old Boxster or something.
