325i auto with the flappy paddles here. I'd spent 17 years in manuals (inc an E46 330i amongst other quick cars), but when looking for a car this time struggled to find a decent six-cylinder LCI manual in my budget, and after test driving the auto thought I'd go for a change.

7,000 miles in, I very rarely miss the manual. A lot of my driving is either around town or on the motorway, and I guess if you live in the middle of country lanes, things are different. For me, 95% of the time it's just in D or DS, and for the other 5% when I'm "giving it some", I enjoy playing the paddles. When my left leg needs a play, I go borrow a manual!
