LOL I can appreciate that these automatics (or clutchless manuals or whatever you want to call them) are an amazing piece of engineering.

I'm 100% with Boo though.

Manual is more involving and you feel in more control. If only the E46 M3 CSL had been made with a proper manual box which would have surely been lighter, no? It would have been the greatest car BMW have ever made.

What I really don't get are these new 7 speed gearboxes, why?! As far as I'm concerned 6 is on the limit, we don't really need that but what are 7 all about on these Auto boxes?
