I ve ordered a 325i e92 (in Germany) Black with Navi prof. and sliding roof. The point is when I went to collect the car, it was without a sliding roof!! I talked to the dealer and he said I did not order one! looked in the order and he did not find it! But I was sure I told him I want one! He accepted that I place a new order. I went for a 335 i this time

GREEEDYY my question is shall I get automatic or not? I want the automatic, but is it noticably slower?the car costs around 60 000€ you guys in AMERICA are lucky

BTW I ve to wait again 2 and half months!!

can't at all.

I'd get the 6spd...

That's awesome, u got the 335i now...i'd done the same thing, it's a sign..

I'm not sure how it works in the home market but shouldn't you get and approve a build sheet with your specs on it? If you haven't already, be sure to ask for one for your new 335i.

Its a personal preference but the step and paddle shifter setup, in the 335i is no slouch. Go with what you like. GL.

The answer should be easy. If you are the primary driver, and you like an automatic transmission, then get the automatic. If you prefer to drive with a manual transmission, and any other driver can get along with it, then get the manual.

I tested both before making my decision. Either one is very good. The auto I find is faster to launch but feels less sporty than the manual. The auto is good if you live in the city and you plan to use it as your daily driver. I ultimately went with the manual because of the cost savings and the fact I use it mainly on the weekends. It is personal preference and depends on your situation, so I would think about how you plan to use your car.
