OEM 18" 162s.. I really wanted BBS LMs or Hartge Classics, but couldn't justify the cost.. got a great deal on these

Have you lowered the car already? From what I can picture in my head BMWs don't have a terrible stock gap so you probably won't have to unless you really want the handling gains. If you are going to, how much of a drop? 1.75F 1.5R?
But those are nice looking rims. I like the rims I've got but I'm not crazy about them. My preference would have been gunmental BBS style spokes but the rims and tires were a package deal and I got a great deal.

Yeah, alhamdulillah, the car is absolutely amazing. Smooth as silk, incredible handling, tons of torque available at pretty much any RPM.. It puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it.
I actually think Honda makes pretty slick manual gearboxes though.. a friend of mine had an S2000 a few years back, and that car was a joy to drive.
Has your boy done any mods to his car?

I'm jealous. I'm dying to boot around in the coupe on the highway and see what going from 4 to 3 feels like in that bad boy.
Yea new hondas have great manual trannies. My boy has an 05 accord coupe that I drove recently. I was surprised at how low the clutch is to the floor. Your heel doesn't have to come off the ground at all, all toe. I don't believe any new cars with an MT can be stalled, I just don't see how its possible.
I almost disliked the feeling... kind of as if the pleasure was taken out of driving stick.
No mods, I don't think he will either. I think the car is leased.
