Hi All,

My first post on the forum, I am looking to purchase a 1 Series Hatch Sport. Ideally want a 123D but may settle for a 120D.

Whichever I get I will be looking at some point to remap it as had very good results from other cars once mapped both in performance and economy gains.

My main question is which is better a Manual or Automatic, I've always been a manual fan but drove a standard 120D and the manual box seemed notchy to say the least.

Is the Automatic a good option? what's it like for pulling away at junctions/roundabouts etc. as know some Auto's can have quite a lag before they pull off.

Also will the Automatic Gearbox in both the 123D and 120D be ok with a remap, don't really want large repair bills!!

I will hopefully be looking at roughly a 2009 car with 40K or less miles.

Any advise greatly appreciated.

Cheers
