viffer, I am surprise to read that BMW is discontinuing the 535i manual in the UK. Stick shift is a lot more popular in Europe than it is here in the US, maybe it is due to the better gas mileage. However, the BMW ZF 8 speed transmission is incredibly efficient. The auto transmission 535i actually gets 4 MPG better than its manual counterpart. With that said, I am glad you are enjoying your manual 535i, as BMW seems to be one of last hold out to offer a stick shift in the mid size sedan segment, but the end is near.
