The list of manual cars is getting really small. If you have any plans of keeping it long term I would stick with the manual for value reasons alone. Also and this part is very subjective but I went from only manuals to an automatic in a modded 335 because it was faster and hated it. Then I traded it on an m3 with a DCT thinking the torque converter was the problem. The dct was fun for about a month and I always drove in manual mode but then I was right back to wishing I had a real manual and missed having control of the clutch still which is why it got replaced with a zl1 m6. For me interacting with the clutch and gearbox is the majority of what makes driving fun. Since I drive my car not race it I don’t really care if the auto would shave a couple tenths of a second off the 0-60 time or quarter. I’ll take the slightly slower but more engaging and fun manual and actually enjoy driving again. The only reason I didn’t wait a couple months and get a c8 instead is because it’s not available with a manual and getting a manual back was the entire reason for trading cars.
So if this will be your first venture away from a manual make sure you really want to loose that part of driving before you take the hit on the trade.
GL!
