kz1000New Car Day!
Knee replacement, schnee replacement. I need to drive a car with a manual transmission.
2021 BMW 230i, manual was the only option I chose. As they say in the UK, I'm chuffed!

PHPaulPretty!
I'd love to have one more vehicle with a manual transmission. Haven't owned one since the mid-70's.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

TwistShe’s a beauty Clark.
Love it, haven’t had a manual transmission vehicle in years and miss it but at some point my wife is either gonna have to learn or get over it.

Think you can get smaller 4 cyl's & a diesel, but I'm in Ohio.

.38supersigSweet!
Now all you'll have to do is stop grinning after you get somewhere, or everybody will think you are up to something.

ChowserAwesome! Time for a bm3 tune to wake the car up.
Warranty, shmarranty.
If you’re near Cleveland you can try my bm3 stage 1 tune on my 430i.
Nvm. You’re on the other end.

m1009Congrats! Nice!

FlyingScotNice - I think they use a variant of the B48 Turbo 4 cylinder from BMW for 2 series. Very nice car, just asking for a tune or a tune box like Dinan. Love manuals - drive and enjoy it, she is a beauty. Wheel is on the wrong side for the UK, but who knows.

tatortoddI dated a gal a few times that had a 2 series. I was impressed. Lots of good feedback that it's a driver's car.

David LeeYou gotta garage that pretty soon because you aren't allowed to drive it in snow and road salts. Need a old Chebby for Winter.

I hardly think so
. I learned to drive in NYC & Upstate, drifting a RWD car in the snow is lots of fun.

SevenPlusOneSweet. That's probably the best car BMW makes right now. Looks great in black.

That's where my ancestors are from. Has an OH plate on the back.

mcrimmA few years ago, 3 of my 4 cars were manuals. Today only 1 in 3 I love your new ride.
I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown
