Do a test drive and decide for yourself wat u like.
SMG u will get better power delivery since the transmission loss is lesser but compared with a auto, it will be slightly jerky.
My 325i SMG is running at 11L/100km. The 325Ci Auto should run slightly higher than that. I would think in the range of 12to 13L/100km

Re: Enquiry on 320 coupe
It is not a matter of driving fast. Both a 3 litre and the 2.2 litre can go just as fast if given enough road.
It is a matter of being frustrated by lack of low end torque in the 320 rather. The leisurely acceleration from the lights and poor ingear acceleration will guarantee to make you 'pek chek'.
IMO the performance of the 325 is nearer to that of the old 328 then to the 320, which is a good thing. From there, if you want, you can make affordable mods like ECU reprogramming, sprintbooster and you will be glad that you have started off with the 2.5 as a base engine instead of the 2.2.
