IMPERIALBLAU BRILLANTEFFEKT

Plus it’s a manuel- surely you’d want an auto in that?

I wasn’t aware these BMWs came with Porschedoppelkupplungsgetriebe...

Seriously through - I’m not sure I’d want to row the gears in any diesel given the limited power band. My dad once owned an early Disco 3 with manual box which was automotive purgatory, a Heironymous Bosch painting reincarnated as wheeled propulsion.

Ive bought it - Pickup Monday or Tuesday next week.

Wife likes it - its her car.

We had our N47 in for the "enhancement", which only made it noisier
