for me.. get a used E60 M5 with Eisenmann exhaust for sure.. they depreciated a lot since the f10 came out; now they're more reasonable priced

I say screw the manual box and get a Maserati Quattroporte !!!

if price is not an issue Base BWM F10 with manual transmission would be golden

to bad manual transmission is a dying breed ...

Power is not top priority here... even an under power car can give a lot enjoyment of driving when fitted with a proper manual transmission

i see what he did there

Rare and a bit of an oddball, but how about a Mazda Speed 6 in manual AWD?

[tofu1413]

then theres the legacy GT...

the new ones are quite big! (although quite ugly)

SAAB 9-5, it is 4wd though.. but they were offered with a 6 speed during its EOL evolution.

I wouldn't doubt it. They probably would've stuck with the SMG as the only option if people didn't really demand the manual option. The F10 M5 though is a mechanic work of art and better than the E60 M5 in every way.

And lol, people failing Timpo even though his posts weren't that bad. I think everyones just in the habit of failing Timpo because he's Timpo.

GXP for sure, I don't even like domestics that much but it's no contest... that kind of power and that much car... and someone said they're expensive? No way... you can easily get one for $30k taxes in. Think about what $30k taxes in gets you new... Honda Civic? Base model Acura ILX? Stripped down Golf? A nice Corolla? Or would you rather have a 4 year old 415hp (under-rated) sedan that makes the earth tremble every time it starts? Your call

Heck, even that E39 M5 is $30k and it's 10 years old......... don't get me wrong, E39 M5 is one of my favourite cars of all time, but they're not exactly a cheap endeavour from an ownership perspective (not that any BMW is).
