Someone must have crashed that car because its no longer available to test
I actually saw someone leaving with an M5 the day I was there and 30 mins later I saw the car on the side of the A12 completely crashed and missing a rear wheel!
I suppose it happens to often with test cars...

Also, I drive about 600km/week and a great part of that in heavy traffic so I prefer an automatic when I'm in the traffic jams.
The automatic shifts faster than you can with the manual. Fuel consumption is lower because you have 8 gears in stead of 6. Gear shifting in Sport and Sport+ is swift and correct.
Nothing to hate about the auto box, even though I was a manual lover |
I can see your point, I can appreciate that the auto box works as a charm, i just dont feel it like that..
I have to go with Ovekvam on this one, it all just comes naturally without thinking. Especially in daily driving, not even talking about the track driving he does..
Anyway, so long as you're happy with your amazing car and the transmission in it, thats the main thing!
