I've said this before, but the reason autos tend to sell better is because that's what dealers usually order. Let's say a dealer orders 8 autos and 2 manuals. The manuals disappear, and 5 of the autos sit on the lot. Joe Average walks in, and while he prefers a manual, he's okay with an auto. So that's what he settles for because that's what's available. He doesn't want to wait for the dealer to order a car. He wants it now.

With BMW/Audi, people that don't really know how to drive are drawn to the marques solely because of the badge. They don't really care what engine it has (and a lot of times they actually have no idea) or what transmission it comes with.
