I can't think of a single reason why.
Also gotta remember, OP drives a 340i with a stick, he's use to a manual handbrake every time he parks and gets in to drive. A manual handbrake just feels more assuring and in a sense engaging than a electronic parking brake which can sometimes be hard to get used to.
All F30 have manual hand brakes even the auto ones
Yes, but how many people with automatic transmissions use their hand/e-brakes? I was just saying as a manual transmission owner myself, we use a handbrake numerous times a day, so changing to an e-brake can feel weird.
I can vouch for that having changed from a manual M235 to an M340. Still not quite used to it, and am nearly 6 months into ownership. But I drove manuals for 30 years before the M340, so a handbrake just feels more reassuring.
