If anything, the 08 is my preferred year......That was the first year for a 6-speed! Get a stick...

Look for an early 08 MY build. If you want to do software I was informed that mid to later MY 08's BMW made much tougher to crack the programing.
This may have changed. Check it out.

btw I believe that 07's were the first to offer the 6 sp MT.

It's a great car. I love mine. Power, room and comfort.
