[Vintage]

We have a 35i with DCT. It is incredibly fun and quick. However, as I have said before on this site I would buy the 30i with MT if I could do it over again. I just miss the perfect smoothness and instant torque of a NA I6 from BMW and now that the turbo 4 is about to replace what I consider to be one of the best motors made, I would jump on the 30i now before it is too late. All of the DCT, twin turbo crap is super cool, but it doesn't make the car more fun or fulfilling to drive.

Our 35i is loaded, but I would order a 30i with M Sport, MT, upgraded wheels, heated seats, and upgraded sound (w/iPod connection) only if I had another shot. Probably titan silver with walnut interior (not that you asked).
