Nice, and his review of the Step is pretty much how my step handles in performance situations.

thanks for posting!!!

Is the auto really even worth considering if you are not a lazy bastard?

I just figure, with the Bluetooth package and such, my hands wont be as busy as they are currently with my manual civic, which is the only reason i was even thinking about getting an auto.

bluetooth is wireless so you dont have to use your hands at all.

As much as I love my 535d, this statement worries me about the 335i:

"In fact, first acquaintance with BMW's fantastic 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel will leave most people short of breathless superlatives while the 335i is very impressive but nothing more."

I would have expected the 335i, especially in a manual, to be equally as impressive, if not more.

Thats what i was implying. Since no hands on phone, i have no reason not to go with a manual.
