This manual in the F80 is sooo much smoother than the manual I had in the E92-- no notchiness going from 1st to 2nd. Maybe the novelty will wear off driving in LA traffic again but I may have to switch back to 3 pedals for my new lease!
I found the 6MT in my ‘15 a little notchy 1-2 for a while, but it was fine by 10k mi. Never had an auto in my cars, only in SUVs.
