- faster gear changes (up & down)
- additional cost is small (supposedly)
- some think the shifter looks nicer than the new standard on (I do)
- the paddles are cool and you might use them
It such a pity it's not available at launch. June seems so far away :-(
I presume when they say from June production this means you that is when the factory start making them, not when you would be likely to receive it (unless you live nearby).

What do faster gear changes do for us - genuine question - I assume it would mean something if you were on a track or racing a legacy 535d off the lights...

Id suggest you drive a 335i with the new Auto box to see just what a difference in everyday driving the new box makes

In my interpretation I get paddles and new SPORTAUTObox from June production and new autobox from March.
