I really wanted to go with a manual, and decided to try the lighter weight NA engine in the 30, but I do miss the effortless torque from the 335 that I just traded in. Please post your views about the DCT IS versus manual 30i when you've been driving for a while. My lease is only two years and if I decide to stay with an impractical car, I'll give the IS some serious thought.
What's with the "old" thing? You are never too old, I will be 61 by the time this car comes in and I have no worries about pulling it off. Hell every guy I see go by in a sports car is a "well preserved". As for the Auto i did have some reservations, but wanted my wife to be able to drive, kind of makes up for the Harley i just bought, and the 335HP kind of makes up in my mind for the lack of the manual tranny.
