Why will you miss it ?

I sold my 530d because I found the auto box made the driving experience less engaging.

I think an auto is acceptable when a car has an indecent amount of torque (eg 335d). In a car like that the auto is probably quicker than a manual.

A 320d is quick ... but you can use a manual box to get the best of it.

Changing gear is really easy anyway isn't it?
