No pics, but a bit of a unicorn, BMW F10 535i with a manual transmission. Camry gold paint without sports package.

Manual but no sports? Gold? Good luck selling that when the time comes.

We used to sell cars like that from time to time (new) - usually an older guy that still liked driving a manual but thought the sport package was too harsh.

Good luck on the resale market though. That's the kind of car that has a birthday on the used car lot.

Good analysis. It was an older white guy driving it.

Is he wearing a helmet, too? If I had a Corolla, that's how I would drive it.
