The argument of the current Automatic "basically being a manual" is the most consistent thing being past down from generation to generation.

Well in the case of the E46, the SMG and 6MT actually DID use the same Getrag transmission except for a differently machined bellhousing and of course the extra hardware for the computer to perform the shifts. But yes I agree with your overarching point. I was guilty once of believing that a slush box with paddles was best of both worlds with no drawbacks. Then I actually started driving manual.
