See above regarding paddles and different steering wheel. I chose the automatic because when I spoke to a couple BMW technicians they said the automatic transmission was stronger to handle the additional torque - I believe with the auto it's consistently faster for launches as it is more difficult to get the perfect launch with the manual. My other car is an NSX with the NSX-R shifter and short shift. I don't like the BMW long throws and if it's not close to the way the NSX shifts I don't want it.
