Welcome Along
You will find this place more bias to the ed30 but only due to less R32 owners.
Dsg versus manual, again you couldnt of asked 2 tougher questions lol.
Both awesome cars with either transmissions.
R32 will consume more fuel for town trawling. Ed30 will match it in straight line pace .
R will be quicker off the line and better around a track or in the Wet.
R32 modded will cost you alot for little performance gain unless you want to spend £3500 for a twin turbo conversion to 550bhp+
Ed30 at stage 1 remap for £400 of your pounds will make it a faster machine, and is more nimble/ less planted but hugely great fun.
You need to try both gearbox's to see which you like.
Dsg is been reported as a much better system over the SMG bmw version.
Go test drive each transmission to see which you prefer.
Dsg is faster excellerating then the manual , but some say you loose the feel of being in control.
I love Dsg personally, but as said, you really need to go test and see which you like fella.
