The turbo is the future, like it or not. I have a non-turbo 328i with a manual transmission, and it's a good combination. But the new 8-speed AT makes the turbo a very nice car to drive, with a good combination of power and fuel efficiency. Because of the AT, the turbo lag is inconsequential. It doesn't make as nice a sound as the non-turbo six, but the sound it makes is pretty nice all the same.
