If you have a big enough hill, you can do it with an automatic 240D too. I made about 50 pizza deliveries one night without a starter on my Citation. There was a minor (maybe 6-8") rise leading up to the storefront. I could bump start it in reverse while backing out of my parking space. At the destination I left the car running. After we finished cleaning the place up and were ready to go home, my engine was cold and I had to have a coworker push start me with his Escort. He shoved me up to 10 mph and hit the brakes, then I dropped the clutch in 2nd and it fired right up.
