So my question now is if you were in my place would you wait half a year?

The situation here is that BMW Phil is just offering in the steptronic tranny (no 6 speed manuals) of the 320i, 325i and 330i. The performance and fuel figures of the petrol version doesnt impress me much and I would rather have the diesel version.
??? Are the roads that bad? If that is the case, then the fuel figures for the Steptronic will probably be a lot worse than advertised..If you want to wait or not, It depends..Is there something you can scoot around in until then? What are your options?
