Last month my wife bought her dream car. It's a silver 2013 BMW 1M sport. She did the right thing and got a conventional 6 speed. No paddle shift. As part of the deal we get a 3 day track day at Road Atlanta. It's called the BMW experience. The great thing is our new car gets to stay home.

Does that mean you're not driving it until spring?

cool! I didn't know you can still get the true manual speed. I thought BMW moved away from that went all paddle shifters on all of their fleet.

dare to ask what the damage was on that on you wallet?

Lance, I think the only transmission available is the 6 speed manual. The price of the BMW was in the mid 60s.
