I drove this car against the 325xi and the Volvo just as another person did - but with auto. The 3 series actually felt faster and handled better on the course. This was because you were always waiting for the turbo to come on line with the auto.
Still, if they put a NAV in the car and Xenon headlights it will be on my list to replace my GS. With stick of course
