Manual transmissions in BMWs have a special character to them. I don't like it, too dull and vague.
In any case, the 135i is going to be a quicker straight line car and when driven properly, probably faster in the corners too. But it is a heavy car and doesn't communicate the same way the twins do. All depends on what you like.
IMO, the 135i is a better all around car but the twins are more fun to drive.

It is a legitimate DCT, with launch control and everything and it uses paddle. generally the auto was an actual slushbox but the DCT add way more fun, it keeps the car in the power band, I drove an M3 with the m division one and honestly they are pretty fun in manual mode.
