I was window shopping at the Classic Car Gallery down the road today, and found this gem. I'd never seen a 6-er with a stick before. It's an '07 650i with 59k miles and they're asking $29.9k. I doubt I've ever seen one of these with the top down though.

I have to go back there when open - they've got a Cobra replica, XK-E roadster, NSX and 599 in the showroom (amongst other cool stuff).

I've driven the M6 with a manual, I don't really like the clutch feel since it has that stupid delay valve.

Nice car though, they can move for their size.

Wasn't sure what that was so I looked it up. Seems you can modify the CDV so the clutch engages normally for tire-chirping fun.

Basically you let of fthe clutch and the cliutch slowly engages.

I've driven Aston Martins, Porsche 911 GT2 and GT3 Ferarri Race cars, BMW race cars BMW ZHP cars, Z8 Z4 I've driven a BMW Clownshoe haha

All because I worked in a specialty shop that did mostly high end and race cars.

I bet BMW thought the CDV would be a Great Idea.

Not.

Terrible idea, you can remove it and bypass it, but I wish it was not there to begin with.....it made the car feel so disconnected.

I don't know if I ever saw a non M 6er with a stick come through, but when I worked at a BMW dealership I drove an e46 325 with an SMG in it. That was pretty strange.
