MT Ride Along Request (Inland Empire/ North County SD)

Hi All,
New to this forum and soon-to-be F82 owner (BYO ED in Sep. 2016 ).

I have driven a few E92s and F82s with DCT, but strongly leaning towards MT (all of my cars have had MT, except for my current LUV). I'm aware of the advantages of DCT (i.e. launch control), but some youtube videos out there point out how better the driver is connected to a MT. No dealer in the area is stocking MT F82s (so no luck getting a test drive), so I am seeking any local volunteers. Hoping someone out there, somewhat local, is willing to take me for short drive to get a feel for the MT and share their personal experiences with it.

Thanks in advance!

Took advantage of the holiday and made the trek out to South Bay BMW. I got to drive a MT ZCP. Very NICE!
