Paddle Shifters availible in US
I know that the Paddles are being released in the UK March 2008, I was just wondering if this will be concurrent with a US release, or if we will have to wait until maybe summer of 08 for the Shifters

Yes there is more power lost through a automatic transmission (required for paddle shift) than a manual transmission, i.e. less performance and lower MPG. That said a manual transmission depends on the drivers abilities so it doesn't always translate into more performance. Automatic transmissions are really coming a long way and starting to rival manuals in some cases such as the 335i which was tested as quicker with an auto in one mag review.
