[Biturbos4] BMW becoming the 'ultimate poser machine'

[Keman]

That is surprising ... I would think there would be at least one manual
trans car. For exactly that 5% of buyers who won't drive an automatic, per
their own statistics.

Find some salesguy who wants 5% more of all their sales of 330i's to get one
onto the showroom floor.
