sorry guys but i thought the whole thing about the three series was the fact that its a drivers car !!! perfectly balanced , comfortable, great familly motoring , and of course superb for showing all the crap boyracers in their novas and jap crap rice burners how to perfectly powerslide a car into and out of corners and roundabouts . Surely automatics arent gna give you the controll that a manual will even if you select your gear manually ! and of course if you forget or do it buy accident the auto box will change up a gear mid slide and cause the car to stop spinnig and dig in , NASTY when it happens ( especially ifyouve got your missis or your mum in the car , sorry mum )
i think at the end of the day tho it all comes down to personal preference , i guess we arent all hooligans !!!!!!!!!!
