Anyone have a 335i with a MT?

WCS099 · 01-28-2009, 12:11 PM

I'm interested to know if anyone has a 335i with a stick instead of a steptronic. My 330i has the steptronic and I'm toying with getting the 335i.

nope, this is a steptronic 335 only forum. I think you might have better luck @ e90post6MT.com

Lots of people with MT (me included). Yes, it costs more to get a Steptronic. Yes, the Steptronic's faster, but I opted for the manual because I've always loved manuals and being connected to the car.

I have a 6MT 335i. I've driven the Steptronic also. It's a great auto transmission, but I still like the manual MUCH better.

Jimmeh · 01-28-2009, 12:28 PM

manual transmission here...definitely a blast to drive

SpaceGhost · 01-28-2009, 12:35 PM

The MT gives me a more connected feeling with the car. The steptronic is great too but I prefer the manual.

MRQturbo · 01-28-2009, 12:39 PM

call me old fashioned, but i love banging thru gears...heel and toeing....i don't think this car would be as fun with AT...

jlstyle · 01-28-2009, 12:43 PM

Reasons I got mine with MT.
1. You can make engine dance for you.
2. Because it's more fun.
3. Because it's a lot more fun.
4. I can blip to make vroom vroom sound.

shaddai · 01-28-2009, 12:44 PM

Didn't even test drive a step... no reason. 6MT FTMFW!

vegasspeed · 01-28-2009, 12:46 PM

This is my first stick actually. They only had one on the lot so I had them go get one. I am glad I did. It is hard to track a car with an auto I think. Just doesn't feel right.

Blue Streak · 01-28-2009, 01:28 PM

This is nice to read that there are other 335i owners here who love their 6MT! I agree with all the positive posts about reasons why you like the manual on this car. I love the positive control and the pure enjoyment with this manual. I've even thought about how much I love it and wouldn't trade it for an auto/Steptronic even while sitting in SoCal stop and go traffic.

2kaccordocoupe · 01-28-2009, 01:32 PM

Manual for sure.
Going to stay that way until I can no longer press down a clutch.

bknight · 01-28-2009, 01:36 PM

where's canucklion when you need him?

Bilka · 01-28-2009, 01:42 PM

Not to bash auto drivers, but driving an auto puts me to sleep. Manual transmission is very engaging and makes the 335 a blast to drive.

It also depends on your situtation, are you in a lot of stop and go traffic?

Do you have to share a car with your wife/husband?

smartys · 01-28-2009, 01:56 PM

Straight up 6MT, and I absolutely LOVVVVVVVE IT. My fave time is merging on the highway (freeway for you Americans).....I hold it in 2nd going along the on ramp, at 50kph.......and then BLAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I'm off......such a great feeling......just great! Oh crap I think I just jizzed myself.......

It is?? That is your opinion and not a fact. This has been debated to death.
