...with a manual, I would’ve bought it new instead of a used 328i.

Basically this but in Black Sapphire Metallic and Coral Red Leather.

I’m still amazed there is no 4 GC with a manual. To me it makes more sense than a 3 with a manual, yet the 3 4-door gets one, the 4 2-door gets one and the 3 and 4 5-doors don’t.

There was. For one MY. On one trim. For a few months. In Canada.

Also remaining manuals are diminishing too. right now it’s restricted to 40i models. If you want a 4-cyl manual, you’ll have to talk to Cadillac.

Looks up local website, finds manual options on:

420d (the only model usually sold)

420i

430i

Your options may vary.

I could get one. Indeed I would, if I suddenly found myself affluent, have a choice of three engines with the manual box. You, maybe not so much.

Interesting. I’m pretty sure it was never available on any trim in the US. But here we can still get a manual on the 3 sedan with any engine (maybe not with xDrive though). Very few dealers stock them - you can see pretty quickly the 3 or 4 dealer in the US that cater to enthusiasts with an AutoTrader search for 3er manauls. But you can order them still. Interestingly, in the US Audi is now offering the A4 2.0T with a manual (only on quattro models).

The 430i Gran Coupe has been emissions certified with the manual in the US for a few years now yet they don’t make it available.

...Or maybe you can special order it and no one knows you can...

I wonder what’s the price. There’s a price for everything.
