Jarick 5 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 I've been driving autos my whole life, but I'll be selling my 330xi for a 4-cyl manual in the next year. I really want more control over the car and the additional fun you get since I'll likely be giving up 50 to 75 horses. Hopefully gas mileage goes up quite a bit as well.My car has the auto-manual thing, it's pretty annoying. I like selecting the gears, but it auto shifts under acceleration or decceleration. So if I drop it into fourth to pass someone, it might drop me into second, which my car doesn't like at all, and my transmission has given me problems.Although the real paddle shifters are cool...my buddy has an M3 with the SMG, that's a worthwhile system.
