There's no way in hell I'd trade the last five years of 6MT driving bliss for five years of driving the car as an automatic just for a higher resale value. Fact is though that 6MT is cheaper to maintain long term and given the rarity of this type and package of car now it only makes sense to keep it for the long term which even further reinforces my transmission choice (who cares about resale value if you own the car 10 years?). If I suddenly want an automatic I'll buy a used Honda and drive it as a beater while the 1er rests in the garage waiting for non-commuting fun.
