Have driven two and liked the responsiveness of the manual! Currently driving a BMW 325iT 5 spd. wagon and curious about maintenance and fuel pump failures$$$$? Are there any specific problems like clutch replacement, suspension problems, HVAC and electrical gremlins that might dog a retired Diesel Mechanic? I do have OBD Fusion to scan and correct problems. Totally hate failures that occurs 500 miles from home! Will not consider an automatic! Will be looking at 2009-2013, anything specific to avoid? Thanks for suggestions. Tom
