I've driven manuals ever since I got my license, and I've never even considered driving an automatic because I find them boring and offer you so much less control over the car in spirited driving or adverse conditions. A car with DCT might be different, but anything with a torque converter is a complete non-starter for me.
My other car has a Getrag 265 5mt, and it's a fantastic transmission, especially once you get the engine on cam. The 6mt in the 335i is nowhere near as nice, although shifting with it is much nicer now that I've removed the CDV, but I still have absolutely no regrets driving a 6mt instead of the 8at.
My car has the M Performance Package II, but beyond that I've not done any tuning to it.
