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.
Yeah, I got an electric cheater smoker too.:p

When I get my 1970 426 Hemi Cuda, I'll have a manual. Until then, I'll take the cheater transmission.

You didn't hear yet? I won the $380 million powerball tonight. I've already bought the Planet too.

I think BRC would do well w/ a tuned 335i - **** Audi and their 2.0t

Due to confusing German branding it's a 435 now if new. I think 2013 was the last year of the 3 series coupe.

Depending how much you care about fuel economy (this suggestion is awful there) not sure you can find a better coupe than a 2011 M3 at the upper end of your range.

Mileage is not a big deal to me. Paying $40K for a 2011 car with 30K miles on it, does make me pause and reflect.;)

I'd just get about a 10 and tune it - it's an animal tuned. I loved mine w/ a passion - Honestly? I liked driving it better than the m5 - Miles is going to kill me. But :shrug: -- what can I say?

BRC - which zip-code are you in please, also do you have a color preference?

They were 70-75k or so new. Completely biased on suggesting that to you but I really do think it's the best coupe out there for 40k.

Did you have a chance to drive the 2 series or M235?

They had no coupe's in stock. Two weeks maybe. They say they sell as soon as they get in. They keep the stock down to keep the price up. Don't know if thats true or not.

They had 4 doors but I just don't like the fit as well as the coupes.

For some reason I'd prefer stock and don't like mods at all.

Suspect the reason you may not love the M5 as much as your former 335 is its a heavy full sized car. Engine is a total masterpiece but still a full sized car.

I love the bright red on the retro muscle cars but black looks the best, to me anyway, on the Mercedes, Audi, BWM kind of cars.
