My 128i is the 4th new BMW I've ordered over the past 12 years - all with MT. And yes, I test drove each model beforehand, but all were automatics. My procedure is to ignore the transmission and concentrate on the rest of the car. Having now owned two 5 speeds and three 6 speeds, I've never been disappointed in a BMW manual transmission, .

Drive whatever 135i you can find and if you like the car, order it with the MT you want - it's as simple as that!
