The BW35 is a slug.... I have one in my '65 122. The only reason that I have not changed it to a stick is that car was custom ordered new that way by my great-grandmother (she traded in the '56 444). I have driven that car about 170,000 miles since I got it in '92. There have been two complete rebuilds on the BW35 in that time. Each ran about $1000.

Go test drive one and see how slow it is... They also seem to be louder than an M40 or M41. I have added sound proofing to the floors but I still normally wear ear plugs if I am going to be driving more than 30 miles on the highway...
