After having the ZF8 in the 35d I'll never 'opt' for manual now when looking for a newer car.
Makes driving so effortless. Manual boxes are way more involving mind. I'd find it comical if the 182 was to have an auto [emoji23]

My honest opinion of this, is that you basically don’t like driving that much?
Referring to driving as effortless in a positive manner sort of implies you don’t really want to be involved or enjoy it (to me at least, I know @MarkCup agrees).
Even when I drive to work, I take great joy in chucking it into the big ass roundabout as I exit the m25 onto the a127, selecting gear based upon speed and how open the roundabout is, rev matching a bit on entry and going for it.
Wafting in and hitting the kick down button under the throttle if it’s clear isn’t quite the same.
Easy there, Troy QueefMy honest opinion of this, is that you basically don’t like driving that much?

You know what I mean. But at least the Merc’s an angry auto.Easy there, Troy Queef
@MarkCup have you driven a new m135 yet? Had bmw trying to get me to swap the m140. The thought of a 4 cylinder doesn’t appeal to me and I declined the drive. Wonder if I’m being hasty. Any experience?
Cheers daf
I’m surprised you kept it that long to be honest. Most people I’ve seen buy the M140 have traded it in fairly quickly. Over on the JCW owners group, so many trade them in for a Mini JCW.
Uhh, if you haven’t had a Mini, you won’t understand mate. Oh and your Volvos!!!! They make anyone look like a peado 😂😂😂Do they trade in their testicles at the same time?
They get into relationships and have to buy something their partner can handle.Do they trade in their testicles at the same time?
Funnily enough I want to go the other way and trade in my f56 Cooper S for a 140/240i next year as I find the mini dull.

😂 I think driving Porsche’s for a living is what does it nothing else ever comes closeIf you find the Mini dull, I think you need to trade it in but for a Caterham or something 😂
She’s got great taste!!! Anyway, back to Mark’s thread..
You said only recently that you wouldn't sell it for anything, not sure why you've suddenly changed your opinion? I know you can do what you like at the end of the day but it does come across that you just change cars for the sake of it.
