Hey, its no big deal that its a 'slush box'. A 5-speed (or 6) can easily be swapped in if the owner prefers a stick shift. Its sad to see such a nice car leave its owner. Hopefully the car will go to a good owner that will take car of it (an drop an m5 engine in that puppy ). If your reading this Will... good luck on the sale

That's a great color. I'd have to say my favorite. (Even better than Dakar!) Quite a steal I might add. If I were looking at buying a car, I'd jump at this one, even if it is a slushbox. (Automatics are for lazy people, nothing wrong with that)

according to the ebay descripton it's a slush box

I thought I read the description too but it still looks like a manual. It says the transmission was replaced but he didn't say if it was converted into a manual. Can someone clarify?

[///BimmerPower]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Either he altered the shift boot to make it look like a 5-speed or he actually went through with a auto-to-manual swap. I find it rather unusual though that it would be manual since he didn't mention a 'swap' in the description. I'm sure if someone found out it was a manual he would find more interested buyers for his WB beast. Later.




*edit*- Well it looks like an automatic to me. Check out the faint brake pedal in the picture I posted. I'm pretty sure only automatics have the bigger sized break pedals. Beautiful car none the less .

Selling it due to some life changing circumstances eh? Did someone get knocked up? lol seriously, what makes you HAVE to sell a car such as that.

i think he said he was selling for money for med school on the east coast, seems like a good reason

[chrisboiii]

it's an automatic but I guess he swapped his old tranny for a tiptronic; he also put a shift boot in there I guess so it looks like a manual gearbox. I believe it's going for that low price because it has 135,000 miles, but that's still an awesome deal I think.

Id love to buy the car but I wouldt throw down the xtra 1500 to 2000 dollars make a pussy shift into a drivers car (meaning 5speed)

[Joey325i]

selling it cuz hes goin to east coast for school, its a slush
