Are the AUTOs just as efficient as the manuals?
Can they take the same amount of power as the manuals when using a Dinan flashes?
Can you launch the AUTOs just as good as a manual?
Does the flash take away any type of torque management to produce the things I want?

I am also a novice stick driver, so there are many things to be factored in

Thanks

I know it's a tough decision so I always go with beef instead of chicken. Wait what are we talking about again???

Crap, not auto vs. step again...

i think the local dealer here had like 40 335i's auto and 2 manual. You'll probably get a better deal on the auto since they need to move those 40 and an enthusiast will come around and demand a manual.

only in america would you find so many auto's.

hay man why don't you wait for MY2009 for the ECT then ask this again. I bet you'll get a new answer: ECT

actually alot of people cant drive manual transmission. Also alot of old folks like me dont like manual that much due to either familly issue or traffic in LA ca
