I am looking into the new 2008 BMW 135i. But I’m a little confused with the steptronic transmission. With the steptronic transmission option, is the car at all like a manual car (i.e clutch, manual shifting without using the steering wheel)? My friend had a 2003 BMW 330Li that was an automatic, but had the Tiptronic so he COULD shift manually if he wanted to. Is the new BMW 135i going to be an automatic first, manual second? I want a standard manual car with the OPTION to use the steering wheel to shift (without the clutch), but I want it to be a manual car First. And what is the difference between Tiptronic and Steptronic? Thanks.

I am about to buy a BMW M5 with manual transmission and I was wondering if it is possible to convert it from manual to auto or automanual? If so, where can I get it done? How much will it cost?

I am looking to get a BMW soon, and I have heard good things about the E30 and E36s. Both being from the 90s, they would be in my price range.

Which year and series BMW would make a good first car, when taking into account reliability, and cost.

Also, how many miles should I look for on it?

I am planning on buying a used BMW 318i automatic (the shape from mid 1999). I have seen a lot of cheap ones but with high mileage (100k +). I just wondered how many more miles before the autogear box packs up or needs serious attention. Thanks.

I own a BMW 325i, made in 1989, and I want to make it go faster. The problem is that I know very little about cars. I know I’m going to need a manual transmission but that’s all I know at the moment. If I could acquire a list of potential parts that would improve the performance of the car it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I just got an Audi A4 and it has multitronic transmission w/ paddle shifts. I have never driven a manual car before so I don’t understand how gears work exactly.

Can someone explain to me in very simple terms how to use paddle shifts? I want to use this feature!
