Has the computer really gone that far into submission? I feel a difference when i step on the bmw throttle. I get instantaneous response.

I stopped worrying about 6MT's when I scorched a Z twice in one day at the track. A good AT laucher will win 90 out of 100 times. I see it over and over.
As far as the feel of the pull by an auto or 6mt. Wouldn't most agree that the 5AT will feel stronger becasue of torque multiplication? This is not like the old days where you get a 1 second loss to the crappy auto option.

bmw 330 series vs g35
I had an 01 330xi auto until 2 years ago when I got my 04 g35x. The sport mode the bimmer has on its transmission is awesome! The g35 will beat it 0-60 and 0-100... but the bimmers inline 6 is strong at any speed so if your cruising at like 65mph and floor it, that thing takes off whether its just regular auto mode or sport mode! The g35 loses out there and would lose out in the open highway. I've experienced that from both drivers seats. Don't get me wrong, I love my G but there is something about that bimmer engine that makes it feel more powerful and quick than cars that are rated 50-60 hp more than the bimmer. Maybe they do understate their hp?
