free clutch modification (CDV)

I ordered my 135i with MT, it's just more fun to drive. I have read countless threads on e90post about how the steptronic is clearly faster in the 1/4 miles because of more aggressive gearing and error free shifts. Supposedly the auto can stay in boost between shifts.

I would not go as far to say that the AT is faster then the MT. I would say that the AT is faster then about 80% of drivers in an MT. Not everyone can shift fast enough to keep up with the quick shifts of the AT. Then again you do loose that feeling of being one with the car when you go with the AT.
