650/645ci manual?

[NAnut]

Have been wanting to scratch my lifelong v8 itch and I think the 6 series have aged really well, they're looking better to me as time goes by. As my car has to be a daily driver a 645/650i coupe is looking like a very likely prospect in a year or so.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but did they ever make v8 6'ers fitted with a manual box as I have only ever seen 630s with anything other than autos, or is it just a case of nobody choosing the option of a 6 speed from New with these cars.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting. Always preferred manuals, but I know some cars just suit an auto better. I live in the country and I like how involving a manual is and would always go for a manual over an auto when possible. I just wondered if it was even an option for the 6 series,
I'd like a v8 coupe and there aren't many things that I can afford to buy/run as a daily. The fact amg mercs only come in auto means they dont interest me much although I'd prefer a 650i if I had to have an auto.

I do like the monaros, but I don't think I could get on with the build quality, they remind me of my old Ford probe in that respect!

Thanks for all the replies especially from the 6 owners, I understand some people done get why I'd like a manual but I'm still hoping I can find one when I'm ready to change cars. My z4 coupe si isnt the smoothest in stop start traffic but I'm so glad it's a manual when I'm out on the open road where I spend most of my time driving.
