    Too many dealers list sequentials as manuals, it's annoying. I always end up filtering, then going straight to the interior pictures to see if it's actually a manual.

    It's not a problem with bmws in the uk that I've seen, there are a fair few manual m4s though. Ferrari absolutely - lies in every ad (I vented about this in the past though).

    I know, it’s so bad. It’s to the point that if I don’t see an interior picture, I just assume it’s really an automatic.

    It’s funny, if you want a manual Ferrari, BringaTrailer seems to be the place to go. US-centric, though. But manual Ferraris seem to go at surprising discounts compared to the automatic ones.

    Also, my buddy on my car forum has a 6MT 340xi he’s selling. That’s tempting. Though an AWD BMW still feels blasphemous compared to just buying an Audi S4, but it’s something I need to seriously consider.

    110,000 miles? An older 8 series? Repairs would probably be pretty ruinous, yes...

    110,000 miles on a V12 BMW. Seems like a terrible idea.

    But still…
