I own two manual cars (65 Corvair Corsa; 07 911) and they are great, but the dct is also great (and I use it in manual mode 99% of the time).

My apologies....
(FYI: I worked part time for Carmax about 9 years ago. Fantastic experience great business model. I did very well! You have one of the best positions there; congratulations)
I mixed in some sarcasm in my original post
I was trying to say the general public typically drives automatics; enthusiasts or not.
Since a vast majority of the F80's are automatic and carbon roofs.
The request would be for the rare 6 speed more often than not; along with a sunroof.
I test drove a DCT it was cool. I just felt like I was pretending to be a racer. It was genuinely foreign to me.
I've never owned an automatic car ever.
If I went with a 5 series I'd get the automatic. In that segment I'd get the ES 350.
I'm either all in M3 or totally numb Lexus!
