I test drove the 535i BMW with the sport pack... had paddle shifters... i just couldnt get adjusted to them..
..so i didnt get it in my BMW.. i did have a sport mode drive without shifters... but it wasnt a smooth ride... felt like someone that didnt drive manual very well. Soo... thats part of the reason i order manual in my camaro. My vette was manual... i prefer this over paddle shifters. BUT i'm glad some people DO like paddle shifters... people with automatic should have fun too!
