Are there any manual D4`s post 2012?
I have a late 07 D3 SE manual & love it but, I am looking to upgrade to a post 2012 3.0 D4 (with all the toys) as the tax is considerably less & it is better on fuel. the problem I am finding is that I want it red with black leather & manual. Now searching the net in all the usual auto sales places, red 3.0 D4`s seem to as rare as rocking horse poop, and finding a manual after 2012 does not seem to exist. Is this the case or do I just need to keep looking?

Re: Manual D4
No manual D4s apart from a few early 2.7s. It's auto or nothing.
If only I could think of something useful to type here!!

Re: Manual D4
No one wants a spanish box - and they are difficult to make reliable and take the torque - its a big car that the auto makes so much more sense.
My BMW doesn't have a manual option either. (530D) as they again, can't make one (at a price people will pay) to take the torque either. And there is no demand. Especially as the 8speed ZF is a lovely box.
