Soldato
I had a manual E46 330i before the 335i auto and i must say it did feel a bit weird to begin with as it was my first auto car, however there is no doubt in my mind i prefer the auto now. The paddles are very responsive when you want to push on and quicker and more precise than the vast majority of the population can do a gear change. The auto is nice when you just want to drive home after a tiring day and in traffic.
The only thing i would echo is what Fox said above - the E93 is a heavy old car due to that folding roof. I think i remember him saying it didn't feel *much* faster than his 530i due to this weight bringing the power-to-weight ratio's quite close to each other. The coupe doesn't suffer from this - if you drive a 335i coupe and it is anything less than "woah" fast, it's broken.
