If BMW could come out with a non garbage 6mt then it would be nice, but the clutch has been WAY too soft since the E46 days, the actual throws are not that good either but easily fixed with a short shift kit. The throttle mapping also sucks making it difficult to have the car do what you want, intead it tries to figure out what you want instead of just doing what you ask. Had an E39 M5 for 6 years and had trouble driving the damn thing smooth. Was no problem with my E46 M3. Have driven a 235 manual as well as an M4 and F10 M5 and did not like either one. Feels old and out-dated to me. Now if they offered something like what is in the 997 GT3 RS then I'd be all over it. Drove that car perfect after not even 5 minutes in it.
I'll be DCT all the way. I actually will not buy the car if its not offered in DCT, I'll go M3.
