Make a list of what is most important to you. If you find that car and it happens to have DCT then maybe it's not the worst decision you could make. Some people give up CF roof for a sunroof or give up the better stereo or perhaps a color. Giving up manual for a transmission that might actually be more engaging to you and cheaper to purchase just might be an ok plan.
If you are a save the manuals guy then I totally respect it. Good luck.

I don't really care for the color, or packages honestly. My first car was a 135i, and it had zero packages except for m-tech. I had manual seats, not even powered lol. I just can't drive a DCT. I don't like it to be honest. I have a e92 m3 now, that's a manual, so I just want to get another one for daily lol
