I do like the idea of those Regals, there are also a few E90 330i and 335i xDrive's with manual transmissions on the used market.

What you're doing is akin to me asking for speaker suggestions under $xxx and you suggesting a sonograph that was only sold in the UK 15 years ago.

09+ E90 328i 6speed with ZSP would be a great sporty ride but if you need AWD than try getting the 328xi.

YES YES YES

Thanks for reminding me. You can get the Verano Turbo with the M6 transmission. Verano's styling is more subdued though so the OP's wife may not care for it.

I really enjoyed driving the Regal GS while at work. Their 2.0T engine is decently exhilarating.

is your wife even a car enthusiast?

I know WRX STi is on your list but you don't buy a car like that unless you're car enthusiast.

I don't know how European cars can ever be on the list considering their reliability and repair cost.

If she is willing to put a lot of money into fixing up a car, just like any car enthusiast would, this would look quite professional.
