Like with all cars ive owned, I do like to tweak them a little. So plans are suspension, wheels, blackline taillights and a chiptune of some sort. (nothing crazy)
My biggest question at the moment if I do order the M135i is transmission.
Ive always been a massive Manual fan (even though my last two cars were auto) As I am buying this car for driving enjoyment (love that its RWD) I really want to go manual. But am worried when I do decide to sell the car, it may be difficult as most go for the auto it seems.
Who has what? and what are your thoughts?
Cheers,
Ben.

I think sports auto will be a lot easier to sell later on. You can feel the auto box change gear very direct and I think it is faster than a fast manual gear change. But for the enjoyment, manual is the way to go. Especially its a RWD, it will be a lot more fun if you have the clutch.
My car is a sports auto. Sometimes I do think what if its a manual? Sure it will be a lot more fun! Sports auto is nothing like a real manual.
