Reliability of auto vs manual Also if I am looking at a car above 75k miles would you stay away from a manual and opt for the auto? Does the 3
Looking at all these cockpit photos, I am surprised by the number of automatic transmissions. I looked at another dozen similar BMWs (mostly 328's and 335 coupes) and none of them had manual gearboxes. They are .. [–]LEDCandle2003 e46 318i Touring 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child).

Hey guys. I am looking to join the E46 club, and just got back from driving a 330Ci. Loved the car for everything it excels at. Love the classic body style and this one has an M-Tech front bumper. It's in good shape and a fair price so I am thinking of buying if it looks good after an auto-check and a PPI. My only

Got bored of my a3 s-tronic and thinking about selling it for an E46 330ci coupe. Found a few I like but a bit stuck between choosing manaul vs steptronic. I get along well with autos but find them a bit boring if they are not DCT. But on the flipside I hate being stuck in traffic with a manual car. Has anyone
