I have always loved BMW and LOVE manual transmission for the driver engagement out on open roads. That said, the veneer of driving experience wears off fast in rush hour traffic with all the stop and go, what a hassle to constantly engage clutch and slip it into gear. Autos are so good performance-wise now and with the addition of paddle shifting gives the driving experience of controlling shifts when you want it and the comfort of not having to shift when it becomes a task. Good video, Congrats!

I got the CSL SMG tune, Uber fast DCT speed shifts. I have driven manuals all my life and do NOT miss them. BTW, Ferrari and I think Lambos do not currently even MAKE cars with stick shift. They are all paddle shift now.

@f1knight6 жыл бұрын
As you know this week I bought a '08 335i auto, today I learnt by accident that when you flick your shifter to M/S, if you don't touch the paddles the symbol 'DS' appears on the dash which means it'll still shift automatically without paddle input but in a more aggressive manner, essentially a sports mode. Very cool and very quick. I'm with you Omar, my previous car was a Porsche 911/996 also auto and I was quicker off the mark than other 996's with the manual transmission. Even the worlds number one racing drivers 'Formula 1' use paddles, and that speaks volumes!

I live in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. When you live in a big city that has lots of stop and go traffic an Automatic Transmission is a lot more convenient and a lot less work. Also I am 67 years old and have noticed the trend of Automatic Transmissions getting a lot better over the years. They now have more speeds forward and they have lock up torque converters, so now there is no fuel milage and performance differences between and Automatic and a Manual. Also there has been a trend in the United States over the years of a slow decline in manual transmissions. There are fewer cars available with a manual transmissions.

I disagree. I could never get an auto in a sports car, it just wouldn't feel right no matter how fast it is. The clutch adds a whole new dimension to the driving experience IMO. It teaches you a lot as a driver how you manage the car and you actually get to know the engine pretty well, what it behaves like a lot better than in an auto. At least in SoCal, there isn't a shortage of manual 335i's so I don't see much of a price difference either. There is def an argument for what happens after you go past a certain horsepower but at that point, the car becomes more of a straight line machine not a track car. Personally, not my style but I see that argument at least. Also, I know that in the US, not just anyone can drive your car which honestly is a bit of a draw for me for theft protection and family/friends. I live in San Diego and I commute in a S2000, I have quite a bit of traffic on my way there but it never bothered me, just give a gap and let it idle creep. I got really good at manual to the point I can clutchless shift without stressing and even heel toe everywhere so traffic isn't a concern really. Well, either way, as long as you KNOW how to drive manual you're ok with me at least lol and I know you know that much ;)

got an automatic in mine for similar reasons. Its my daily, I already have a manual transmission in my foxbody didn't want another one. Automatics are better for daily driving. Only little ass kids make fun of someone for getting an automatic. Plus in my area 335i's with a stick are more money so I just couldn't justify it.

Wow that lag between the fucking shifts... this is why I'm glad I went with a manual. Also the manual is 0.2 seconds faster to 60 than the manual and uses less fuel. Rekt.

Unpopular opinion: there are plenty ways to control what gear you’re in. I don’t see why doing it with a big knob with 6 positions is the best way.

Yes the automatic is faster than manual, but the manual spec e90 cars have about 16% more power to the rear wheels which is pretty significant.

I just bought some carbon fiber paddles from Nelson racing wheels, I hate the paddles on my 09 335i, excited to finally have right click be shift up and left click be shift down.
@realbadtech93186 жыл бұрын
Is it different on the 09? My 2012 downshifts on the left paddle and up on the right, mine is OEM
@SimplyCarThings6 жыл бұрын
It is different for the pre LCI models. You press the paddle forward to downshift and pull it back to upshift, i hate it hahaha

It doesn't shift until 2 seconds after you click it, I can probably shift in a quarter of a second or less.. definitely not faster

Yo idk about you but you missed another argument for the auto over manual. I just bought a 2012 E92 335i, and I wanted it to be low mileage in really good condition. Finding that, with a manual gearbox, would've cost me at least 20% more than an auto. No way I could justify another $4000 just for a manual
@SimplyCarThings6 жыл бұрын
Yes that is a huge point I missed. Unfortunately the manuals have a really absurd premium :(

@sasazapadnik93355 жыл бұрын
Just jerk the shifter back and forth between drive and neutral (to keep the RPM in the powerband) until the transmission inevitably grenades itself. Then you will have no choice but to do a manual swap anyways ..

By a remap from xhp flashtool it will make this automatic shift as fast as a ferrari

I had a supercharged E46 M3 and I have a 330i automatic. The 330i has a shitty GM 5 speed auto, and I know it shifts faster and smoother than I could. I am looking into a F30 430i and I honestly want to get the 8 speed automatic. It shifts ridiculously fast. I will be daily driving it. The paddles are more than enough fun. Hawaii traffic is grange. Yeah manual is fun to drive, but that’s not to say you can enjoy driving an automatic. I still don’t understand the hate. Drive whatever you prefer. As long as it’s not a garbage ass Subaru CVT 😂

Manual car is tedious and stressful it’s fun when your young you wanna separate your self from other people saying your a real driver but nothing shift faster than an automatic even formula one cars started out as manual transmission and even they move away from that so .... automatic is more fun easy more relaxing and you can always choose to switch to tiptronic mode the only advantage I see manual transmission have is to kick start a car and I do like manual on a motorcycle.

Thanks man! I drove it for about a year and a half, I guess what i meant to say is that in traffic I would rather relax and not have to deal with constantly changing gears. its not like i struggled with manual it was just more of a burden
@kylerwinters6 жыл бұрын
Simply Car Things I moved to Portland for about a week with my manual 335i and traffic was a bitch. I could see buying dct over a manual do to my environment but thank God I didn't stay. I can't see how a manual would be less unsafe than a automatic or would deliver the power less smoothly. Especially with automatics having a higher drivetrain power loss than manuals.

First time watching your videos and more importantly than getting a manual - Please get a camera mount in your car. Or 2 if you want to move it round. There's a reason pro camera operators use gimbals and steady-cams when they can't use tripods.
@DiscoFang6 жыл бұрын
And I agree with reasons for autos over manuals. Especially with the BMW Sports-Auto. Currently have 328i and 530d wagons both with the ZF Autos with BMW Sport programming.
@SimplyCarThings6 жыл бұрын
yea but gimbals and steady cams are expensive and aren't practical for on-board car videos
@DiscoFang6 жыл бұрын
Simply Car Things I wasn't suggesting a gimbal, but a hard mount. The reason for gimbals or steady-cams when they cant use a tripod is to stop picture wobble and movement. But you don't need to take suggestions, you're working it.
