Hoovies Garage presents a tantalizing dilemma: a 2006 BMW M6 with an SMG automated manual transmission. The host, Hoovie himself, is determined to swap it for a manual transmission, and he's found a potential solution in the form of a 2005 BMW 645 with a rare six-speed manual. However, there's a catch. This 645 is in such remarkable condition that it seems sacrilegious to dismantle it for parts. Hoovie's conscience wrestles with the decision, but he knows that sacrifices must be made in the name of automotive experimentation.
Returning to the moment when the parts car first arrived, Hoovie shares his initial reaction. It's a mix of excitement and guilt, captured on camera thanks to the trusty GoPro on a stick. The footage, unlike a previous attempt, is in focus and reveals the pristine state of the 645. It's a beauty that makes even the most hardened car enthusiast hesitate.
