It was Spring 1978. I got to drive a silver 1977 E21 320i. Just up our gravel driveway about 700 feet. Holy crap, the steering feel; I felt every stone on the driveway surface. I was hooked forever.
Now get to drive a choice of the four I have. Life is good.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
