Auto with the +/- is faster and auto is great in heavy traffic. BUT
I find it easier to get through traffic with a real stick than the manual-matic. It is more intuitive to me than manual matic. It's also more fun.
I've kept a 2009 328i/Sport Suspension/6 spd manual for driving in the burbs and when I'm finding twistys. It's the car and stick that make a visceral difference in the joy.
And yes, I've driven a manual for 49 years. When I taught my sons, their legs couldn't take it even with the more friendly clutches. I shook my head in "what is the world coming to" mode when they were not looking. :-) And I was such a crap husband, that I sold my then-wife's Camry for a 6 speed stick - that was a mistake. But 20 yrs ago. You learn.
