Nice interview with some good technical info. I do take issue with his comment about Sport +:

"With an M automobile, racetrack use is always an essential factor. Here it is necessary in all cases to be able to control very high power outputs with great precision using the accelerator pedal. For us, this means that we would not even consider a mode in which a small pedal movement would produce a great leap in power."

This certainly isn't the case in the E9x (just a throttle map, about as linear as a light switch.) I really hope what he is saying is true, since I am getting a manual and would like to be able to avoid the auto-rev matching feature without a hyper-sensitive throttle.
