Gated shifter? I wasn't aware of that. I think you're talking about the 5 speed automatic. I don't know much about it.

Yeah, 98 up models have the gated auto shifters. I drive a 5 speed now, not sure how much i would like going back to an auto, but if i'm gonna go for a luxury car, i'd much rather have an auto.
Oh yeah, How are the seats on a daily basis for the SC. I really need lumbar support in my seats.

Toyota/Lexus has never really made any rims that were attractive. The GS 17's look good, but that is about it.

Buying a BMW new is a misleading experience, they quote you one price and then when you finally add "carpet, windshield and heat" the car is another price. BMW is notorious for bending alot of people over.

I don't think I could stand a new car with questionable reliability,which is exactly why I'm here,driving an old SC.
But that's just me,and if you think the BMW styling differences are worth it,then go for it.
I just want to know if that wood shifter will work in my car

5spd4banger, where did you get that interior pic? I am 95% sure that is my car. That was the picture the dealer sent me when I inquired about my car, tacky *** floormats and all. I bought mine sight unseen and requested alot of pics before I made the drive. If you got the pic from someone else, let me know, I am going to razz my salesperson.
