The real unicorn is the CTSv wagon with a stick AND the panorama roof AND the Recaros, but even still I’ve found a few (and they were only made from 2011-2014), just not the right one yet. My next door neighbor has an E63, very nice but no, I can’t do the automatic (he can’t every other day either, so he has anM5 with a stick as well). Good choice on the GTI, they’re fun - and you might be happy not to have bought the 328 - I’ve heard aftermarket superchargers can be suspect down the road.
