Great review. Nice to see one of us out there giving some real world feedback

I do have a question about the automatic in manual mode: If you are in manual/paddle shift mode in 2nd (any gear really) at 1500 RPM and floor the throttle does it automatically down shift or will it pull through the RPM's?? In other words is it TRUELY manual mode??

I ask because a friends 335i Msport automatic which shifts great, would always down shift even in manual mode. I have a stick shift and sometimes just don't want to down shift so i let the car pull through the low RPM's till it builds up.

I am trying to decide to go automatic or stay stick shift.
Thanks
