    Just get an auto with paddle shifters, best of both worlds without having to feel like you’re operating Victorian era machinery. Modern auto boxes change faster than you can, and give better acceleration and economy.

    I love driving and passed my test in a manual. I wouldn’t go back now.

      I thought paddles would be cool. My first 335i was a dct and I eventually sold it for a real manual 335i. It’s really gonna suck when manual is truly gone :(

      No thanks. I like a manual gearbox because it’s fun, I feel in control. I don’t want to rely on electronics for something less fun. I don’t care if automatics are now faster, or if paddles are faster. They’re not as fun.
