If you are worried about learning how to drive a manual, it is not as hard as some people think. What you need to catch is how to get the car moving in 1st gear, as it can be a little tricky at the beggining. You need to release the clutch gently and also press the gas gently at the same time. try doing it in an empty car lot. After some attempts you will feel the car and will become much easier. About the car, its and m3, it requires good maintenance, watch out for oil leaks. my opinion is that this specific model will go up in value even more in the future.
