My Ride: 545i; Manual Shifter

Yeah, only 6 speed for now which is fine by me. My 550i is a 6 speed and I love it. My lease ends a few months after that car shows up in dealers. It sucks knowing which car to get next because I want it NOW!
Six speed manual 545i owner myself and loving every second. Just yesterday, I was practicing launches from standstill.

I'm curious about BMW's history with manuals...that is, do they incorporate a different manual transmission in their M cars versus their non-M cars? For example, shorter throws with shifting, lighter flywheel, heavier duty clutch, etc, etc.

Looks like they lifted the wheels from the E46 M3 CSL

Yup...and those Michelin Cup tires make for such a great wheel/tire set up.

Its a nice looking car, but honestly i was expecting more from the M3 in appearance. For example, when the last body style came out my jaw dropped the first time i saw it, it was absolutely beautiful.....after seeing this one, i cant say the same thing however it still is a nice looking car!
Ditto.
