My Ride: Soon 2010 535I White/Black 6-speed M
Default Hello from high desert Califorina

Hello All,
New to the forums but not new to cars. Im really looking upgrade my DD to something with a little more interior room. To be specific 2008-2010 BMW 535I 6-speed manual White with black interior. The problem I'm having is, seems like this combo is a damn unicorn.
How are the 6 speed auto with paddle shifters? I see lots of regular auto and a few with paddle shift and little to no 6-speed manual's

Whats in my garage:
2004 Audi A4 1.8L turbo 5-speed (daily driver)
1996 Integra sedan 2.0L Turbo 5-speed 750+WHP (weekend warrior )
1998 Chevy Silverado 4x4 lifted 35" tires extended cab (work truck)
1950 Chevy 3100 Pick Up Truck on s10 chassis swap SBC350 5-speed (under construction)
1955 Chevy 210 Belair station wagon 5.3LS swap 4l60E (under construction)

Welcome to the forum! It's not so much the white/black exterior/interior combination that's rare, it's the manual transmission. We're seeing fewer and fewer MTs with every passing year.

the auto has a higher final ratio, i think

3.08 for the manual vs 3.46 auto
