Summary
This is an outstanding luxury coupe, and an excellent value. As a matter of personal preference, we'd prefer to shift for ourselves in a car like this, but even at BMW the sales mix is skewed heavily toward automatic transmissions. And when it comes to doors, America generally prefers four to two. But some of us still like coupes. And this one is a jewel.
