It's just money. We'll make more. ;)

I will be looking specifically for this blue
 

I say that every day.

I think the right hand drive might also not be the greatest thing either.

If you're testing out BMW, test a Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe.

I think this was the best deal on a BMW I found today. 2014 C250 9000 miles, $320000, 5 year bumper to bumper unlimited miles warranty.

I found the handling the best of any car I've ever driven, besides a Lamborghini. The interior of the car was quiet. The AC was an iceberg. The stability around corners and over bumps in the road was excellent. It had enough pick up but still gets 30 mpg on the highway.

Having to drive over the Sunshine Skyway every day now?

Wait a year and buy the Ford Focus RS. AWD. 315 HP and a likely sticker of $36,000.

Actually, nevermind. I see you want a slushbox instead of a real transmission. The Focus RS is going to be manual only.

Like the styling of the Mercedes C250 even though it reminds me of the Accord coupe (which also looks good). For me at least it suffers from the same problem of the great looking Audi A5 since it's main issue is it could use more power in the base model. 200ish HP in a coupe that cost that much just seems a bit light.

$320,000?

gold plated? ;)

On performance cars slushbox can be a thing of the past. Probably also applies to the 8+ speed autos but a true dual clutch transmission on performance cars are quicker than anyone can shift. Still like a manual though...

I know. I was just giving BRC some shit.

The problem is that many of the paddle shifter transmissions aren't true dual clutches.

Edit: I drive a manual in some of the stupidest ****ing traffic ever. It's not bad at all.

Agreed. Have even had a few rentals with paddle shifters. On my most recent car purchase it was super tough to decide between a dual clutch and manual. Went with the DCT and mostly love it but occasionally miss the third peddle.
