Eric, have you posted your thoughts on E90->F80 yet? If so, link me so you don’t have to retype.
Great info. Thank you! As I said, I'm looking for MT but early production does scare me a bit.
Clutches are a bit of an issue on the 08's unless prior owner changed it out. You will want to research and understand before buying an 08. Not saying you should not buy, I'm saying that you should understand what you are buying and what the potential cost is if the clutch goes.
