Ive had a number of E46 M3's - two with paddles and one manual - have to say that the manual was a far more engaging drive all round - however i then had a CSL and absolutely loved the auto even if it was a little harsh at times. Ive now got the 335i auto and equally love it. It is perfect for me as i spend a lot of time in heavy stop/start traffic and just couldnt do it in a manual. That said the auto box in the 335 is far from perfect and if it was just a fun weekend car i would have chosen manual every day. I also really miss being able to blip the throttle on the down shifts - especially going through tunnels!!!
