| Euro delivery of C240 or BMW 330 Ci (5-spd)
The C240 or C320 with the 5-speed automatic and TouchShift is worth considering instead of the new 6-speed manual. The beauty of TouchShift is that you have both a 5-speed automatic transmission for tedious, heavy traffic with a lot of stop and go, AND a 5-speed manual for fun on the twisty bits--without having to depress a clutch. To downshift simply tap the console lever to the left, and repeat to go down another gear. Tap to the right to go up a gear, or hold to the right for a couple of seconds and the automatic goes right back up to 5th gear. |
