    Are you sure you want auto? Manual is the way to go. I think in the long run, if you decide to sell a ZHP, manual trans would be easier to sell. But, that just my opinion.

    Having lived in the Bay Area (three years in San Francisco), I can say that I am glad I drove an automatic there. I don't think it would have been much fun driving with a manual there. Lots of traffic and lots of hills (especially in the City).

    Actually, I am sure of what I want. If I lived in Colorado I would likely have only manual transmission vehicles; however, I live in one of the worst traffic areas in the USA - in San Francisco there are almost no places where one can travel more than one block without encountering a stop sign or traffic light. I have other vehicles to drive when I want to depress a clutch pedal.

    Sorry! My Bad. I've visited SF. I see what you mean by not wanting a manual.

    And I've been to Denver, where I would absolutely want a manual.

    I have an auto for the same reasons, not living in SF, but too much traffic and stop/go on work commute. Good to see some people "get it" about auto. So tired of "manual, manual, manual" rants everywhere, it's almost like sheeple - people (not here, but in general) say that just to say it, because it's the "thing to say", even when they really don't mean it fully for the reasons that ARE logical.

    G' Luck on your search.

    I got to drive Mtnman's automatic last weekend, and it wasn't even remotely a bad experience. I really liked how it performed. If I was to need an auto, a ZHP is still the way to go.

    I have been on bf.c, roadfly, bimmerfest, etc. for over a decade...the auto/manual "debate" just rolls off my back like water...I can see the reasoning behind choosing to have a clutch - or not. If someone wants to have a car with manual transmission, great. If someone wants to have a car with auto trans, dual clutch, MCT 7-speed, CVT, whatever, that's good, too. It is a large planet with enough room (for the time being, anyhow) for everyone to strive to achieve their own objectives. My objective is to locate and purchase a 330CI ZHP with auto trans - if it comes with an ESS twin screw, all the better!

    HAPPY MOTORING!
