Admittedly when I did floor the X1 it would move, but unfortunately there was no sport setting on the X1 lie there was on the 3 series. I wanted the end again but the gits at the rental car place had given the last one away.
I had the 330Ci M sport and thought the boot was mahoosive considering it was a coupe.
As for stick or auto it all depends on the car. My Smart Brabus has tip shift, full auto or paddles and the full auto is crap unless you anticipate the change and adjust the throttle. Occasionally it sort of looses track of what the revs/gear relationship is and holds onto the lower gear too long. Paddles/tip are more responsive.
My brother in law has a Merc A class for running around town in and I reckon it's brilliant. The auto shift is seamless and is so smooth you really don't notice it's changing gear.
Like Kingy said BM's are pretty basic until you start adding 'options' which you wouldn't get on a rental.
