I've been struggling with transmission choice - going back and forth.
I've only driven manuals in my cars but we have the 8spd auto in my wife's 328 and it is fun to shift with the paddles (never put it in full auto when I drive her car).
I'm afraid I would quickly get bored with the auto if going that route so I'm leaning heavily towards the manual even though it is worse on gas. The upside is that in Canada the auto is a $1600 option so it makes the worse fuel economy more palatable.
Waiting for the 2015 order guides - I might as well wait a couple of extra months at this point.
But yes, for my needs I think I would regret going with the auto and will be bored quickly. May have to test drive both again !
