335i sedan questions

[sccxvely]

I'm about to buy a 335i sedan pretty soon in a mouth or so. I went to my dealer decided to test drive one and man i love this car, only draw back is for some reason i want a stickshift and dealer is telling there is no demand for it. They also say, automatic version is faster than the standard version. is there any truth to this? yes it's a little weird a stickshift sedan but hey it's what i want.

also i'm thinking about just not getting the 335i and getting the 135i instead, what would be the better decision when it comes down to style and overall look? same motor so i'm not worried about that but since the 135i is lighter i image it to be a little faster.
