Stop sending me the alerts because when I get stuff like this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I have a crisis. And that crisis is because I have no monies. (I know I told Autotrader to send me the alerts, but I can't turn it off, I can't!)

What is a "5-6 SPD. MAN. TRANS."?

Well you wouldn't want to miss something...

Gamecat235 > Gamecat235

And the better question is, "why do you want a 5-6 SPD MAN TRANS?"

Tom McParland > Gamecat235

I dunno...but I want it...soooooo bad

It's a MAN. TRANS. your choice if it's a six or a five speed.

WANTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enthusiast Auto will probably buy this and mark it up $20,000 tomorrow :(

Truth...but they don't tend to carry non-performance cars, and while this does have the M-sport pkg it isn't on the same league of an M3 or even a 335

Can you share with me your saved searches on autotrader? I have a feeling they pretty much line up with anything I would ever want.

Is there any other kind!? *Tim Allen grunt*

I really only have two- "Audi A4 Avant Prestige" and "BMW Wagon- manual" and of course if I am looking for something specific for a client. :)

OH BABY! Last of the N52! Facelifted (dem tails~!) M-Sport! 6MT! Wagon!!!!

Only shame is that it doesn't have iDrive (the 2009+ version is the proverbial shizz).

Buy that. Buy it now and put M3 suspension bits on it. They sell a kit.

Then track the ever-loving Christ out of it and ride off into the sunset, victorious and satisfied that you own the coolest E91 on the planet (well, aside from this one: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr… ).

Trust me if I had 35 large to drop on a car...I would snatch this up in a heart-beat.

I'll add your search with the additional criteria of RWD and hatchback.

I'll raise you a search for a RWD manual Volvo wagon and manual E30s.

Tom McParland > Volvosaurus-Rex

Those are both tempting, but I only save searches for cars that I would actually buy if by some miracle my income increases dramatically.

Did your head explode looking at the E91 M3 conversion, or did you know about it already? Your passion for wagons precedes you...

The problem with that car really is the $35k. Here's why: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr…

I have seen that E91 conversion, and the fact that it doesn't live here in the US makes me feel o.k. The 35k for this 2011 pretty fair considering market value sure that '08 M3 isn't the problem because of the age. The problem is all the '11 335 6-speeds I could get for 35 grand

Well, the N55 is doing a bit better statistically than its predecessor, but I owned an N54 335i for four years and it needed one of everything while I owned it. If it had not been under warranty (got it CPO thank god) I would've paid for it twice by time I had everything fixed. There's value in the reliability of the N52 and its heritage. I don't know if you've owned any of the modern 3 series cars, but don't get hung up on horsepower. My 335 was faster (tuned) than my M3, but I'd take the M every day of the week...

Wagon, manual, and BMW with Msport package.. Id love to meet the guy who bought this new, I'm sure he has quite a collection of cars..

Maybe that's my problem, those last two are cheap enough that I might ACTUALLY buy one if a good example turns up.

I need to stick to searches that are out of my price range barring a large influx in cash.

I would be perfectly happy with a N52 230hp is way more than my Mazda. It would be just enough to have fun, while not too much so I lose my license.
