Nope. E90 6MT > TL 6MT / E90 6AT > TL 5AT
Our E90's N52 engine has enough low-end and very refined power throughout the whole RPM range. so it still moves very nicely with the auto. Wider gear ratio of automatics(especially bigger gap for the Acura MT vs AT comparison, since they go from 6MT to 5AT, while we go from 6MT to 6AT. but don't forget, even if given same 6spd gears, MT is superior in terms of performance) must take advantage of much more "beefy" powerband throughout, which Honda/Acura V6 lacks, the low-end and mid-range power. They do have great top-end however, but top > low isn't a good idea when it comes down to automatics.
