As pseto said, the steptronic is kind of a joke, as it is only (very) slightly better than any other auto tranny. If you like to do the shifting yourself, the only *real* option is the manual.

The Steptronic is a good automatic transmission. However, a manual is the way to go on any BMW (and most cars).

I join the others who vote for stick (I have one of each). However note that with stick if you ever want to trade it it you will take a huge hit. Dealers have a hard time selling stick cars. However, in the X3 the stick is great and well worth owning!
Assuming you are in the military in Iraq, THANK YOU for doing what you do and keeping us all free!!!

Ditto from me too! A safe journey to both apass and woods56. Get the manual. My X5 4.4i is the only second automatic I've owned and I miss driving a stick whenever I'm driving in free flowing traffic. But 75% of my driving is in urban traffic so the automatic has been a blessing. Hmm.. free flowing traffic = oxymoron?

Steptronic
Steptronic !!!!!!
Are you kidding me with the manuel stick. This is not a sedan and I also don't understand why you all think the Steptronic cannot be redlined. I think it is the best of both worlds. Who wants to shift with a cell phone or a sandwich?
