Seems like as long as the car turns in the correct direction when you turn the wheel your steering should be fine

Fine for a Mercedes, not THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE

Manual? Hello
Manual is only appropriate on period cars such as my 993. On modern cars it is a pointless anachronism (cf LJK Setright on turbos and autos)

No no you misunderstand. I need a second car while the wagon has driveline surgery. I spent a lot on non-M E9x platform suspension and n52 dinan exhaust. I have been planning on picking up an NA/NB miata as the second car while the wagon is out of commission. If I get an E82, basically everything I have bought so far would be able to come off the wagon and onto the E82 ezpz.

I owned a 128i automatic convertible for a while and also had a 128i manual coupe as a dealer loaner (!) for a couple of days

The coupe was very underwhelming. It had a vague rubbery shifter that reminded me of the E36 M3 and the interior felt unreasonably tight. That would have been excusable if it had performance chops like the 1-series M, but the whole package was kind of meh. Maybe a DISA intake + tune would have helped but my gut is don't waste your money :shrug:
