When talking about the M5, even pure manual enthusiest like myself have trouble defending the stick in a 560hp car, but in an m3/4 chassis we thought a manual would be the best, and of course most exciting route.

Interested in hearing your guys thoughts.
Most likely going MT, myself. While the E9X manual is only so-so, still much more fun than DCT except on the track, IMO. With the refinements promised with the new MT, I'm staying old school. Ought to be at 50-75 lbs lighter as another plus (would like to know the exact figure) and fewer electronics to go out.
