Finally bought an F30!

philespo · 09-18-2019, 07:29 PM

After a few years with my manual 328i E90. I decided to make the jump to a 2015 328i m sport. Car is decently spec'd (surround view, hk audio, x drive). I was very nervous switching from a manual to an auto. So far it's been really great, I'm sure I'll miss the clutch eventually. I've done some basic coding already, folding mirrors, sport transmission, remove warnings etc. I passed on doing any major mods to the E90 given the na motor. So I have plans for an exhaust and bootmod3 at some point.

Congrats, car looks good. I’m in the same boat having migrated from a manual car to the ZF 8 speed. It certainly isn’t as involved to drive but it is still enjoyable

grats on the car ! I didn't miss the manual, even having owned 2 manual BMWs before my current F32. The ZF8 transmission is really great. better gas savings, faster shifts when you need it. If you got the manual, you'll be losing a lot of pulls from the lights, everytime you shift, the other ZF8 auto will pull away.
