Actually it depends on gearing? Either can be faster but using the gearing from the 335, the two cars should be very close. The problem is the driver, most drivers cannot get everything out of a manual transmission car while the auto is fairly easy to post an impressive number. According to BMW their autos are slower:

5.3 - 335i Manual
5.5 - 335i Automatic
While Car and Driver got identical times:

4.9 - 335i Manual
4.9 - 335i Automatic
Note: These are not back to back tests. Atmospheric and track conditions are most likely different.
