The thing about the STI (And evo) is that they are built from the ground up on a platform where fit and finish aren’t the top priorities. The STI may be a fun all year DD but to be honest (as in the same with my evo) they were not all that comfortable. Also, an STI does not come in automatic. ---

> [@maxwell](#): > > I thought you said it before, but definitely no STI right? Not even a more subtle STI limited sans wing, leather… ? Link one up. I am also exploring some 335i options which would possibly be 335xi. I know you guys hate that system and much of the hate has been from some knowledgable people so if you wouldn’t mind please shoot me some links as to what makes it so bad. Like if it just doesnt perform well or if it breaks and such. Thanks guys ---

Im not like SUPER against manual trans. I do care about a nice fit/finish/interior to an extent. The new LGT only comes in 6-sp now and I am considering a few 2010s. Also like I do to my previous dds over the last few years I typically just do wheels and coils maybe a lip. ---

If only the economy was worse still. When I bought my M5 during the huge panic I ended up in it for 7 grand under asking and just sold it for 2k more then I paid after 30k~ driving and over two years of ownership lol. I have thrown out some lowball offers but I need to deal with private sellers. Someone find me where the private sellers with a 550i with sport are at. ---
