Who has a manual E90/92 in Australia?
Where are all the manual E90 and E92 (LCI) in Australia?

Go for the unicorn. Eg did any 2013 pure editions come in a manual that were delivered to oz.
Ps I have a manual ride in a German mark with twin turbos. Really wanted a e90 m3 manual but didn't have the patience or budget to wait on the side lines for one to come up. That said absolutely not disappointed with dct. With the m3 being not that quick of a car, the joy of driving it is the stand out 3rd to 2nd gear rev matched downshift with the paddle shifter. Not convinced the manual can give you the same smile on your dial. Ps absolutely must tinker with the exhaust plus the best bang for buck mod on any car I have tinkered with is the gts dct tune for circa usd 100. But if your only in for one car I can understand being patient and waiting for a manual to pop up. |

Mmm agree about S65 with a nice exhaust but straight 6 (not V) on 1M with an Akrapovic also very yummy! What cars you referring to that are better and only cost 15k? I only mentioned he should get 1M cos in one of his posts I saw he said he might consider one... haha |

I considered a 1M, but they feel a bit overpriced in my mind. They’re basically bloody good E90/E92 money or more, and I get they are far more limited edition but still not worth the dollars.
Doesn’t help they are overlapping with the prices of M2s that are 4 years and 50k+ younger. I can see a few cars up there that I know were for sale back when I bought my E90 M3 5 months ago. |

True, I spent months waiting for the right E90 (plus a few weeks bargaining with the dealer).
A lot of them don't have many options either. EDC, heated seats and a sound upgrade (either HK or Indi) were hard to find, not to mention a car without black leather (I wanted fox red, bamboo or the other white/beige colour). |

They are all very different cars though, the M3, M2 and 1M.
What I can tell you is I’ve had a few M cars and all lasted less than 1 year... some even 4-5 months and the 1M is 1.5 years into it. Don’t get me wrong I loved my E92 and would again buy one for sure but the weekend toy fun factor goes to 1M for me. Plus the low end torque they make means I don’t have to rev the crap out of it on the streets to get it moving. But either one you choose you can’t go wrong! |

For me I don't need the fastest car, just the car that excites me. My Z4MCoupe isn't the fasted, but it's makes me feel alive with adrenaline. I don't car if a car is 1 sec faster than something else or more likely 0.2 seconds. I'm never going to race my car that any of this matters.

So by “better” you meant faster. ? Audi is hardly better than any M car we are talking about especially a 1M in driving experience in my opinion. I’m sure they are quick but what makes even “slow” e46 m3 special is the driving experience if provides.
