If you drove your manual equipped GTI without issue you'll get there. I came from a Fiesta ST that was easy to drive and I have to admit there was a bit of a learning curve with the M3. The shorter gear ratios, the distinct "mechanical" feel of the transmission and the relative stiffness of the shifter take some getting used to, but now that I've driven it for a while I love it (that's not to say I don't FU a shift every now and then). You have to DRIVE this car and at the end of the day I guess that's why we all bought one. I don't know if practice makes perfect, but it certainly helps.
