It's manual...I originally had a 335 coupe on order and just happened to stroll into my dealer that day and they had this sedan in stock. I actually don't mind the sedan because the front end is the same as the coupe. The 4 doors are more practical as I do carry around more than 1 person alot of times. But it was AW with black interior and had every package i wanted so i decided to step it up and hop into an M3
