Well I finally decided to replace my 1997 528 5 speed manual today with a new 535. 130000 trouble free miles will be hard to replicate! Anyway we tried to duplicate the E39 as close as we could by ordering Titanium Silver, 6 speed, Premium package, heated seats and anthracite headliner. Dealer was great to work with at $1000 over invoice plus MACO and Training Fee. His estimate is 8 to 9 weeks arrival time. So add me to that 6% who won't have anything but a row your own gear box.

Congrats! May you have another 100k+ miles with your F10.

And I think it's the 5post population actually is 35%+ manual drivers so you'll have plenty of company

Congrats for the new order.

Where would the people with Auto + Shift Paddles go?

Isn't there a Mercedes forum somewhere?

Seriously, congrats to the OP for his excellent price on the car and fine selection of transmissions!
