M135i manual vs auto?

Just wanted to know what the M135i owners on here think is the best transmission for the car? On paper it seems like a no brainer as the Auto offers slightly better economy and a quicker 0-60.
Having spoken to my step dad who has owned countless BMW's and drives them day to day at all speeds for the Police, he said after having his current 530 in Auto he wishes he'd opted for the manual. He said the drive just isn't as engaging as the 330 manuals he drives at work.
I am looking to order my car in the next few weeks, and will do my best to test drive both transmission's so I can see for myself
