Also people suggest manual or auto? Again being a drivers man the manual makes sense but I've read that the 330d suits the auto box perfectly.

I do track all my cars.. And E91 330d lci too.. I try BMW only in Misano World Circuit so far..
And I can say it's heavy for track. Big heavy engine.. Feel like "pregnant cow" but handle is good and very controllable. After 20min track set. My OEM brakes was comletly burn and gone! But I hade nearly slick Potenza on "17 wheels.
Now I get the "19 and new tires for track only. Try to do my best
But Misano Circuit fast speed track. I prefear more narrow mountain road with lots of turns. Like in Nurburgring with nice wievs forest etc.
when you can use the skills more than the power!!
And now I live in Italy. Here a lot of rounds in the city where you can off the traction control shift the car in the second gear and drift all aroun the city. Is the best car for this!!
