 You will love this car!  I have the 6sp. Fun to drive, great to look at.  You'll receive a ton of compliments.  Oil changes are only required every 12k.  My radiator has gone twice.  It's plastic, but was under warranty.  I replaced the cupholders with Ultimate Cupholders that mount near the floor in the front and replaced the rears with a CD holder.  You will love this car.  Just do yourself the favor and DIY maintenance/repairs or find a reliable private non-dealer BMW shop.
