BPC Turbo Kit Auto Vs. Manual Poll

Hi!

We need some help gauging how many of you have manual cars vs automatic. Would you mind voting in the poll?

Thanks!

John

+1. my guess is that they want to gauge the breakdown of auto vs manual for enthusiasts (asking this sort of question here gets them a sample of their most likely customers)

I just got new tires for the rear of my Automatic 325i, so I need more power to keep the tread to a minimum.

I'm honestly shocked that 6mt (barely) outnumbers 6at.. Must be an enthusiast thing? Does owning 2 6mts count?

No hate on the 6at - god only knows you guys need more performance options...

6MT FTW! Only way to enjoy the little 6pot banger like the N52

I thought this was for the turbo kit focus. I suppose a sequential or dogbox qualifies too, so ok.

328xi n51 a/t but now I'm selling my 328 and moving to 335. I wasn't very good at waiting game. I wish you guys came out with this years ago when ESS rolled out their SC - now that would have been a sale hit
Hopefully, you'll still get enough 328s left to make this kit R&D worthwhile, tho I fear less and less e90 are on the road and even less will spend $9K for aftermarket turbo kit, especially if for that price you can already buy a OEM BMW 335 today

? lol are you implying I'm a ESS shill lol? I could care less of ESS - they failed at SC. BPC is a lot better in terms of R&D, but I fear they already failed with this project by starting it too late. So I sound more like a chorus of dissapointed 328 owners who got tired of waiting games and are moving on to 335 as the only viable solution at this point
