lol do you ever have anything non-sarcastic or non cynical to contribute?

it's gotten old.

if you hate BMW so much why not switch brands and leave the forum altogether?
I actually like the 8 speed box and don't understand why some are so in love with a manual. Apparently, something like 85% now go for auto BMWs rather than manual.
What's there to understand? There was a time when all of BMWs most desirable cars were manual transmission. I own a car that ONLY came in a manual transmission. I refuse to buy any car with a torque converted automatic; as do other true enthusiasts I know.

It's fine some of you drive automatics and buy those cars; but to defend those gearboxes and argue they are more enjoyable than a manual is frankly an invalid argument!!
Not sure that I said that.

Albeit, if you are asking, yes a prefer DCT/DSG/Auto. The days when auto trans made a car slower, are fortunately long gone.

I also appreciate that some prefer manual though.
