3) Manual (not slower by much and is mainly based on the driver, though it gives you a third pedal and more control as most will say)
you really think Step shifts faster than MT? I mean I'm not saying it doesn't and I'm driving a loaner 328 Step and DS mode and M mode shifts pretty quick but then why does BMW claim the 0-60 on the Step is always slower than the MT? I know the DCT is a totally different story.
