Stick Vs. Auto

[JasonC]

I have an automatic e30. Would I prefer it a stick? Yes, but the auto is fine for what it is. The car does have 4.10s under it, so that helps out a lot. It's no rocket, but what e30 is? I find that automatics are fine as long as the car or truck has enough power to pull itself. I've had many automatics and many manuals.

Automatics belong in land yachts

auto is fucking annoying, but good for just cruising and not paying attention.

And road head.

Autos belong at pick n pull so I can have parts for my e30.

This. I have a vert project car that will stay auto until/unless the trans craps out on me. I'm just gonna paint it, slam it and pull bitches.

Agreed. I like the verts as auto sometimes

My 'vert was an auto. It wasn't bad, I guess. Worst part was being razzed by friends that it was an auto....

One place I like auto is towing/offroading. Towing with dad's manual Dakota kinda sucks. Towing with my Rover is a breeze (Rover has same auto as e30 so it's relevant)

Simple answer:

Why not have both

My daily is auto & it sits in peak hour traffic everyday, the car I'm building has the man pedal

I would convert an auto to a 5 speed as the first mod if an auto was all I could find.

[andrewill]

One of the first repairs I did to mine was have it swapped to 5 speed.

My e30 is an auto and I prefer it that way. I daily drive my E30 and rather sit in daily 45 minute traffic in my auto than a manual.

However, I do have a 2003 6 speed E46 M3 sitting in my garage should I feel the need for manual trans driving.

Manual. Every vehicle my family owns is a manual.
