Question is, factory installed as in Mexico. I would say no. Otherwise, what does one mean by factory installed? If at the dealership, I would opt to a place that specializes in performance upgrades. |

They will be installed at the VPC, so for me on the west coast, Oxnard, CA.

I really enjoy a 6speed but I think I'll go for auto with the extra bells and whistles that come along with it. More luxurious, plus I can 'pretend' to have a manual whereas I can't pretend to have an auto the other way. If I had other performance cars (M5) then I'd probably opt for the manual as it would be my fun track car, but this is going to be my first factory performance car that won't be used just for the track. I drove a 6speed Camaro SS for a couple years and found it to be laborious after some time. I plan on keeping the car for a bit unless the LCI model hypnotizes me

Haha...I would be sleeping in the car if I tried that with her. I did get her the M240 first, which she loves, to lessen the blow...

I’ve always had Manual cars not to mention it’s a lot cheaper to pull the trans to replace the cluch than it is to replace the transmission when it fails from lack of service there is no such thing as lifetime transmission fluid in an automatic I alway recommend a 30k service interval every time period last 26years and GM made transmissions for bmw at onetime

I told her if she went to a driving school and track session she could have a chance. Until then, this is daddy's car. |

Forgot to add...a couple of weeks after she got the car she came home from work and said, "I drove home in sport mode, I like it!" I am going to take a guess if she realizes how to set up sport individual, she wont tell me she uses it (of course, she may not after she realizes how fast the gas get eaten).

My point was, she got her new car before me, so I dont have to hear, "Why are you getting a new car, yours is just fine and you have dumped all that money into it for mods and upgrades"
