Ok, if I do get an E90 when my lease is up, I would prefer to get a manual.
My current slush box is convenient, but I think these cars were meant for manual transmissions. Since I am considering buying my next car if I planned to keep it a long time, I think the slush box would probably be dead by 80k.
However: wife won't drive manual (but she may not drive any way with new turn signals.) Plus, if the thing is gremlin-ridden, it's easier to sell.
Oh, the pain . . . what should I do?

Oh, the pain . . . what should I do? | The wife problem can be solved by:
1) Promise her that she can pick the next car.
2) Get her a new jewel.
3) Convice her that driving a BMW stick is very easy. it won't slip when you start uphill.

If your wife has her own car, is it really that big a deal if she doesn't drive yours? If its not a big deal, go for the manual.
