I find driving on the street to generally be boring. To me, a manual transmission makes street driving a little more engaging and fun. IMHO paddle shifting will never be as rewarding as smooth rev-matched up shifts and heel-and-toe downshifts. A good DCT or DSG may be faster on the track, but the F30 is my street car. I'm glad the 8AT sport is a great auto trans, but I'm not ready to retire my left foot yet.
