Thanks for your feedback, interesting to hear your reviews. There should be more people tracking that have your mentality. "track whatever ya got and go have fun" without needing the fastest car.
. I continue the hunt. Sounds like, except xDrive, I'm looking for the exact same thing as you haha. xenon, no idrive, 6 speed, sport package (ideally M sport) but I'd get aftermarket seats and suspension if not. and not gold paint or tan interior lol.
If you ever want to check out a california track my buddy is an organizer.

And to continue the original discussion. If it hasn't already been said, finding a manual 328i that isn't a beat up pre-LCI is not super easy depending on how picky you are.
