After some consideration and thought and months of fooling myself that a steptronic is an automatic that can be a manual I have decided to trade in my e90 for an e92 AW/CR with a clutch. For some reason the driving experience is just lacking without that third pedal and the h pattern shifting. Yes I lost some cash and yes I will be slower than a dct and full automatic 335 but what I am after for is the driver engagement experience. I will compete the trade on January 3rd. I have to say I am extremely excited. They have the same amenities and the only difference is the extra two doors and the manual transmission

congrats! I've had both, have the auto now and the number of days where I wish I had a manual are about the same as the number of days i'm glad I have an automatic. White on red is sexy!

You can't go wrong with either transmission, each has it's pros and cons, but you might as well enjoy your car the way you want it. Good luck!
