last month, bought myself a '03 325ci coupe, my first Beemer and i love it...however it is steptronic so it's a 'wannabe' manual ;-) but still it is a step up from my '95 honda accord
anyway, I would like to get a second Beemer to learn how to drive manual. I'm looking for something cheap, perhaps a 318? I searched and found a 318 coupe, 1994, with about 145k miles. This would be a 'learner' car for the most part, in addition to a 'snowy/icey roadway' day to go to work here in the DC area..overall condition is ok, ripped drivers seat, normal dings scratches on outside panels, little bit of dull paint,
would this be a suitable model to learn manual transmission driving? Any other model you would recommend? in the state of VA, we have to pay a yearly property tax on our vechicles so I'm not looking to get something that would be 'valued' high in terms of Kelly Blue Book values....
thanks for your opinions and advice
