Let me put it this way...
In a few year you go to a dealer to trade your manual 228i for something new. When valuing your car he'll go, for sure, like:
"Oh, a manual? Yeah, people don't really go for these anymore...all they want are auto's...this car's value will be on the low end.."
If you'd've bought an auto, he'd be like:
"hmmm, an auto!? Yeah, people much rather manual sports cars these days, it's the old school appeal ya know!? Everytime someone has a trade-in it's an auto, we're full of them and no one wants them...if it was a manual dear sir..."
There seems to be quite a lot of demand for manuals these days, almost equivalent to autos, so I'm sure you'll be fine, and even if there were only a few manuals out there, that could play to your advantage, as some desperate 2nd hand manual buyer with no options would pay you asking price for your used 228 manual.
Enjoy what you like best, nevermind value, you'll be ok!
