I've always had a manual car and plan on keeping it that way, even with a few knee surgeries behind me (right knee, I'm hosed either way). I'd look else where if you really want a manual car. I've dropped the F30 from my list of potential cars because it just feels too big. It's really a shame that BMW isn't further along with the F2x 1 series sedan and has no interest in bringing the F20 M135i over here.
How about when driven in the manual (auto) mode...? You can keep it in the gear that you choose. Although I am not a fan of the that type of "manual" shifting myself and usually leave it in full auto.... Maybe you're the same
