Quite a difference between 1 and 650. Perhaps consider a 6-spd M3 get a little of both worlds. Foe me a manual is a must, more involved and engaged in driving the car.
The new 650I is a lovely car, but a grand touring type car rather than a GT. If you want a stick do a custom build to order. I did on my M3, something special about having a car built to your specs. And you can do BMW individual getting even more custom features.
