Tell me, you're joking.

I know BMW warranties clutches, but after the first replacement within warranty, you're on your own.

jaserion · 07-25-2008, 02:34 PM

nope. i'm not joking. i need to learn a MT now or i never will!

>_<

If you can't find anyone to teach you. Just go on craigslist and look for a beater car with a manual tranny. You can probably find one for about $2,000. And once you're done, sell it back out for around the same money.

I bought a 97 Civic coupe with 150,000+ miles on it for $2,500. And once I got my Bimmer, I sold it for $3,000.

jaserion · 07-25-2008, 02:42 PM

dont have time. i'm picking the new this pm or tomorrow's am. i'm pretty stupid huh?

EastCoast335i · 07-25-2008, 02:53 PM

buy a beater to learn on...

M3 is not a good car to learn how to drive manual on...
The clutch is race oriented and will be firmer then most...

Buy a honda civic or something in that class to learn on.

The e90/e92 clutch isn't too bad actually. I didn't find it that hard to modulate properly and the clutch pedal is light. The engagement point is just a little higher on it than I'm used to, but otherwise was pretty easy to drive. I would say that the OP can definitely learn on his new car as long as he's got a good teacher next to him. It won't really mess up the clutch as long as he's not in a "learning period" and grinding that clutch for weeks.

I'll teach you....on your M3.

honestly, new bmw clutches are very forgiving.

nyalpine90 · 07-25-2008, 03:44 PM

we can have a meet for this lol

TiAg335i · 07-25-2008, 04:48 PM

How hard could it be...just learn on your M3 as you go. I've never driven a manual before and I can almost gurantee I would have no problem driving one.

Depress clutch, put it in 1st, gas, depress clutch, put it in 2nd, gas.

My next car is a manual BTW..for sure.

baseball- hitting a ball with a bat , its a simple concept. yet requires practice.

same applys to driving manual. its less about being able to do it and more about being able to do it correctly without sacrificing the clutch or the flow of driving while goign from one gear to another

ALPINE6SPD · 07-25-2008, 05:48 PM

If you want to learn I may be able to meet next week on Wedensday. We might be able to work something out. I have taught my wife and a few other people (including a customer who bought a new M roadster last year) to drive stick. Let meknow and if this possible I may be able to help you out.

take lessons from a driving instructor. That's how I learned on a escort I think...

LYLE LUKAS · 07-25-2008, 06:26 PM

Rent a manual car for the weekend!!!!! By the time sunday comes you will be good to go!!!

rooster3.0 · 07-25-2008, 06:26 PM

There's an old saying about driving stick: It takes a minute to learn, and a lifetime to master. I'll teach you the basics in your car no problem. All I ask in return is for a steak salad and some patron at the Franklin steak house.
