Just about to order a 3 series and can't decide between a 320d M Sport X Drive or a 325d M Sport.

Another problem is auto or manual! We have had auto on our last two cars but can't decide on staying with auto or going manual.

Any advice on these decisions would be greatly accepted.

    IMO there's no choice to make. You can't beat 6 cylinders (well maybe you can) 325d all they way. ;-)
