Currently have a 2008 650I convertible, 6sp, manual transmission coming off lease 21,872 miles. Just got back from the sealer trying to determine if I want to buy it out or go for a new 1. Looking for the same car with the same options. I found out that you cannot get a manual in a 6 series unless you do a special order. The dealer did a search and found only 3 in the country, 1 in Boston, 1 in calif, and 1 in Atlanta. The sdalesman said BMW is getting away from standards, even the M series have what they call a double clutch. Now I have to decide what I want to do.
