Had my 6-speed manual since October 2013. I've put 25,000kms and it has been faultless.
Just a shame BMW Australia decided to pull the M performance pack upgrade which would have given figures of 180kw + 350nm
.
Only issue I had was with those stupid standard run flat tyres. I've put Michelin Piliot Supersports on it now and it's much better.
You'll definitely enjoy the car.
