i chose dct because it's a daily,
when i read BMW F80 builds were coming to an end, i thought about doing another build in manual, so went on the hunt for a manual used/demo to drive
i wasn't vibing it, mainly because i didn't feel the actual manual engagement was nice to use, the throw was long and rubbery, the gates not well defined, it just didn't have the kind of mechanical feel i was hoping for (compared to other manual cars i have/had)
i also didn't feel the manual box suited such a large car, all that leather and tech, the M3/4 when driving to/from work feels like a luxury sedan more than an all out sports car - it would make more sense in a smaller car like the M2 imo
My gf recently bought an abarth 124 - that's where I've been getting my cheap manual thrills, that short throw mx5 box is a joy to use, I can go through the gears with a good dose of throttle/revs and still be within reason of speed limit
