Don't get me wrong, I like power but there is a point at which it seems almost silly - for me, the 35i is great but it would probably be more fun to me wringing out the 255hp NA 30i with a MT. The 35i is funny because people try to race me all of the time (Mustangs and Camaros mainly) and boy are they surprised.

"Lazy cow??!" You're generalizing too much.
I drove a manual for 10 years.
Then, before I made a decision on which Z4 to get, I test drove a 6 speed 30i, then the 35i with DCT. For me personally, the 35i was much more fun, so that is why I went with it. I did not all of a sudden become too lazy to want to shift.
