Re: 325is Question

["Allan Williams" <allanw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A 325i is a pretty quick car anyway, so the auto doesn't mean you lose too
much... it's not quite the same but still fast enough (How often do you
drive at full performance levels anyway?) If it's nice and you like it you
can buy it - it's not like you are buying new and have the option!
