I have always has manual gear boxes on my BMWs and seen a few nice auto versions. Has anyone mainly driven manuals and then had an auto. Did you regret it or never looked back?

PS I am asking from a drivers perspective who likes to use revs on the open road vs someone who just wants to float around town

Any comments welcome

If its the Step Auto box like mine then you can always slide it across into semmi auto mode and change gear manually. I have had 4 auto cars previously against nearly 50 manual cars but I love the Auto Box on this thing.

The last five 911's I had have been Tiptronic autos. The last two Astons (DB 7 and 9 ) have been Touchtronic . My Bentley Continental GTC has " flappy paddles " on the steering wheel and my Alfa Romeo 156 GTA Sportwagon is a Selespeed car. Once you have tried any of these gearbox options you will never go back to manual, not even for a Kings Ransom !
