Thanks. I'm a little nervous about going auto but convinced it was the right decision.

A friend of mine in Canberra ordered an AMG CLA45 on the same day I placed the M135i order - which I didn't know till I saw him yesterday. Whilst his car is faster, I wanted to move back to Rear wheel drive and from what I read the BMW auto gearbox responds better to the paddle requests. The auto in manual mode was a large part of my decision after two test drives up into the Cotter just outside Canberra.
