Yeah odd, that's certainly how I found the auto/manual comparison.

I had the old one coupe (only a 120D) but that car had so much feel. Perhaps it's the fact that the newer model is a fair bit more civilized and hides it's speed like all new cars seem too

It just seems counterintuitive to me, because a MT has always made my experience seem faster, even if it wasn't.
