As some of you know i have ordered montego blue 335 E92 that was nicely equipped, 6AT. Now, being the impatient MEMEEEE i couldnt wait for the car, so i bought a 6AT Jet black that was also nicely equipped (+/- options actually).

A week later i miss my clutch already!!!!! Jet Black is pain to maintain and the paint is too soft

dooods... i regret getting a jet black on auto tranny.

Right now I want a montego on 6mt. in the entire state of cali there's only 1 stripped down no-options montego blue 335 6mt. on the other hand there's a nicely loaded silver 335 E92 6mt.

There's also a nicely equipped montego blue 6MT BUT it's sedan, not coupe.

If you were me, what would you do??

STFU'ing hahahah

I'm sure you've factored the upgrade cost, so I guess your question is whether or not these features and the new car smell are worth it.

I think this is an impulse decision. Your lease term isn't that long, save your money. If you want to switch cars, at least consider doing European Delivery for savings AND the experience of your life.

It's your money, but IMO you'd lose way too much money at this point to switch so early unless you can find someone to assume your lease. Consider the mods/labor/effort you put into your car already. But what do I know, maybe you have a money tree.

Get a manual coupe. Just be smart about it and make sure that if you are going to lose some money that you minimalize the amount, and make sure that your going to be happy enough so that you can not do any more car trading anytime soon and let your bank account recouperate..

If you end up spending a little more money, assuming this is a comfortable option, and get exactly what you want it will be better in the longrun by far.

Get a Manual Coupe, whatever color you want, whatever options you want. Wait, especially if you this is going to be your daily driver for 1-2 years. Don't want to be unhappy for 700 days... consecutively.
