Morning everyone. Thanks for all the positive comments. It is a 3 pedal. I love manuals, i just prefer to change the gears. I feel like im more in control of the car. Nothing against autos, the new autos are seriosuly quick. but for me entertainment is not just being the fastest. thinking about it now maybe I just have control issues. The gear change is really slick with the manual as well. i havent really driven the car properly, its frustrating to say the least but i wanna put a thousand k's on the car before really giving it the beans. what you guys think about driving cars in? they didnt say anything to me at BMW about taking it easy for a while... what i love about the car is the BMW connected drive. i got the professional nav, hence the bigger screen but what it can do is amazing. i can even tell the aircon to switch on 5 minutes before i get into the car so that everytime i get in its always at the perfect temp no matter where its parked :rollsmile:
