[Biturbos4] BMW becoming the 'ultimate poser machine' - My E36-M3Sedan

[ken kgrant]

i am of a similar mind.  i learnt to drive outside of
the usa and when i got here auto was a cinch.

my ex is teaching my son to drive auto on her nissan
murano, and i am not too thrilled about it.  so when
he is with me i take him out to a quiet parking lot
and teach him to drive my 6-speed s4.  i think he
prefers the auto.  :(

and both of ex and son are from europe.
