I will miss the MT though. Why can Subaru offer AWD and MT but the makers of the ultimate driving machine can't? By the by I test drove a 2014 228i with steptronic and was disgusted...walked away from BMW with no intention of coming back until I read that the sport automatic with sport paddles was a different animal. I came back and was much more impressed. Ideally I'd go MT but for my purposes (daily driver that can handle Michigan all year round no questions asked due to my job) it's what I need. My second car will be a 2002 M Coupe. Fun factor, reattained.

You're the third Michigander on the forum! We'll keep an eye out for you. What part of the state are you in? I'm in Oakland county and still haven't seen another 2 on the road since August ...even an automatic one!
