test drive bmw 325i
 

went in to test drive 325i this afternoon. its a 6sp mt but i dont know if i am right to call it the easiest manual transmission i drove so far (since this is my second after 8). literally no jerk at all during upshift, so for those who said 8 mt is easier to drive need to be debated :) damn me...after owning 8 ....many cars seem less fun even bmw :boink:

If you're 8 is jerking during upshifts then you don't know how to drive LOL. If you've ever driven a piston car with a lightweight flywheel, it's somewhat similar.

As for the 3-series, if it doesn't have the sport suspension, then it will feel really dull. Even if it does, I still think the 8 handles better. I really think Mazda out-BMWed BMW with the handling of the 8.

don tell me u never jerk a single time while upshifting from first to second gear from the very first day u drove your 8. come on be real. i was just suprised why so many posts claiming 8 is the easiest manual car to drive. is not the easiest but i agree 8 is the most fun. trully bang for the buck this car is.

it's all preference. i think honda's are the easiest to drive. but whatever...
