whats up guys. as fun as the 3.0 manual was. i opted for the 2.5 auto.. =( i know i know.. but there was a really big price differance between the 2.5 and 3.0. its cool though. i'm pretty content with my ride. wanted the SMG, but couldnt find one in white. last car was an E46 328i manual.. and just got really sick of driving in los angeles traffic... miss the fun with the manual tho.. oh well... you guys have a good one
