Why on earth wouldn't we still be driving such cars.
Oh, I weep for the unconverted. 75,000 miles in and can't imagine this car with an automatic. Have fun and be safe all,

Secondly is Americans' aversion to being anything more than a passenger with a steering wheel in front of them. Just look at this rush for self driving cars. I will NEVER own one! Traffic is also a factor. Driving a manual in traffic is just brutal. Been there, done that, had the Popeye forearm size left calf! |

I'm already regretting the day when I'll need to replace this one.
RWD, manual, DHP, can't think of better match for me. Not because it's "better" or "right way" or even "cool" but because I genuinely enjoy it. Yes I tried few different F10 builds, but once I got behind the wheel of this one, well.....see my opening sentence above. |

Yup, rather says it all. The snow looks a little too much like Boulder, CO right now. The match of the 550 with the 6 speeds is terrific. I will miss it. Bill

My 535i is with a manual, It is really satisfiying to shift after i put a short shifter on, just for to get short crisp shifts. But if i would by again a saloon like this. I would opt for a automatic and just sit back and enjoy the ride. If i want to trash around in a manual, i would just buy a car that's ment to do that, light weight chasis, like someone previously said and e30, e34. More enjoyment and you can do anything you want on these cars, parts, after-market market is full of options.

No, no, both are old photos, but we get that kind of snow pretty much every winter. Canadian winters are long and at times can be harsh - I'm sure you remember how it gets sometimes here.
I always make the same joke that "next time someone's to rough on quality of their vehicle (any brand) they just need to remember, at least where I live, outside temperatures these vehicles are operating in are swinging more than 70 degrees Celsius every year, from -35C or below to sometimes +35C and slightly above" |

OK, sorry to all for hijacking this thread. Our cars do very well in the cold.

Looking for a 6-speed manual 550i, or the holy grail for me would be a 535i 6-speed manual wagon. Please send me a PM if you’re interested in selling.
Best, Elie |

Even over here in the UK, where the wagon is very popular, we never had a manual option in the 535i.

Just sent you a PM ModQuench,
It is sad for me, but I am going to sell my 550 this year. Do let me know if you are interested! Bill
