The system functions eerily well and almost completely removes the challenge of driving a stick shift swiftly. ...

I hope the M235i's 6MT is just a basic manual with no f-ing rev-matching.
Might as well be push buttons on the console if it matches revs on downshifts.

Still haven't decided on 8AT or 6MT for my '16 M235i.
Didn't like the "rubbery" shifts on my buddy's E36 M3 or '95 M Roadster.

Oh, forgot to say thank you Sam for the review and video.
And also thank you for not drifting.
