    Automatically Sunshine

    IF I did most of my driving in stop-start conditions around town, I have no doubt at all that I’d prefer a car with an automatic gearbox; but I don’t. A large proportion of my miles are covered on twisty country lanes in which an automatic doesn’t answer all the questions put to it - or at least it didn’t until the arrival of the ingenious new three-way four-speed auto from BMW. Who needs a manual gearbox now? (Answer: anyone who doesn’t have £24,985, the price of a 735i SE fitted with the £315 option).
