They're a superb all rounder and whilst I've got a good budget for replacing my car currently, I can't find anything else in the price bracket that comes close.
On the comparion with the Golf, I've had both and whilst it's quicker I've never found the 330 as much fun to hoot down the smaller country lanes.

I think it's more to do with the original D3 being a rush job - Alpina didn't manage to get the 120d Autobox to work reliably how they wanted in Switchtronic, so decided to release it as a manual only.
The unintended consequence of that seems to be that they sold far more than they were expecting to, hence the D3BT is manual too.
And yes, the fact that it represents no real competition to the halo model has something to do with it - although I understand that to be a BMW GB policy more than anything else - certainly the B3 3.3 was available with a 6spd Manual on the continent.
