As far as I know they didn't do manual highlines unless it was an M6, when I was looking for this car I actually thought I wanted a manual as that's what I had for my second car when I was 19 (cheap insurance back then!) but I drove a couple and decided auto was the way forward and I still stand by that now We drove it to Spain the year before last and being auto made it even better.
