The reason i bought the auto is that 95% of driving is either inner city of motorway. In both instances, automatic is quick, easy & convenient. Having options (sequential stick + paddles) for the 5% of driving that isn't the above gives me the best of both worlds.
I was on the verge of buying the DCT box version of my current motorbike recently but decided against it. I think, when i update it in a couple of years, the decision will go the other way.
The steering and feel of the 2 series isn't diminished, in my experience, at all for having an auto box. I've had a 1 series manual for the last two years and the 2 series is much more fun to drive.
And that's where we differ, I just can't find auto gearboxes enjoyable. What a way to make a special car feel humdrum.
