Hence the Mmmm. As in Mmmm6.
Ahh, yes. I think i'd feel a little different about my 928 if it was a 5 speed. I looked at a rough 928 S3 with a 5 speed a few years back and it drove completely differently to the manual. The S3 was a US only model that was sold in 85 and 86. It had the original body but with the 4 cam engine making 288hp. It felt a lot more engaging.The M635CSI might be the most engaging car that I've ever driven.

Please don't say that. I was the high bidder on this example at an auction in September 2019, but I was still short of the reserve. I'd gone to bid on an Alfa GTV2000 but was seduced by the M635CSi. Anyway the auctioneers said the vendor had said if I was willing to add another £1000 to my bid, I could have the car. But I'd seen the history file and the photos of the restoration and I wasn't convinced it had been done as thoroughly as I wanted. The driver's seat was completely broken, and that should have been fairly easy to fix, so I declined the offer and walked away.

HOW MUCH????!!!?!I didn't buy it. nor did I buy another car.
Since I posted originally, I shifted my interest to trying to find a really nice manual 850Ci or perhaps an 840Ci. And then life took a turn for the worse and my elderly mother, who I'd been caring for for a long time, died. After that I decided that acquiring more cars was not the best idea considering that I already have four and now on my own and with no real family links here in the UK, there's a possibility of my deciding to move abroad where the weather is better, the roads are better and the food is better. And I currently have three cars at home and another in a rented garage. I need to move to somewhere more conducive to multi car ownership first, or get rid of something I already have!
