I disagree, I reckon the 325i and the auto is a very good match. It makes perfect use of the silkiness of the engine and is really relaxing around town, but also due to the lack of torque (which is why it doesn't feel that fast) the auto helps by changing optimally. I agree, when in gear at say 70, I really want the auto to kick down an extra gear to give more oompf but when you look at the speedo the speed increases rapidly but without all hell breaking loose as happens with the big diesels.
