![]() If you wanna feel a throbbing vibrating stick, go w MT, you're definitely more *in touch* w the car, I'd give you that hahha. If you want better steering feel and control and not have micro cuts to throttle, go w the best there is: DCT. Time has moved on. EDIT: you didn't havta multiquote me man, wth, much ado about nothing, much like the stick ![]()

Nothing I said was wrong though, like I said, personal preferences but some of those dudes go nuts so it's time to hear from others. |

As much as I love manuals, the ZF 8er has made me question if I'd go manual again anyways. I guess I would for a pure sports car. But IDK. |

![]() ![]() ![]() I remember the outrage when my 2nd gen Z4 replaced the first gen cuz it's heavier. Now, it's like BMW's Speciale version compared to that lol. For the record, I have a Lotus/MX-5/Miata mindset, I couldn't care less about insane 1,000hp and the crazy wt that comes w it and the engine having 32 cylinders, etc. I prefer handling above all else.

The E86 Coupe is fantastic IMO. Light and extremely stiff. 265 HP N52 in a short, wide chassis. Running track with a 4,000-pound M3 seems a bit dumb to me.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

I mentioned this before as I was lusting after an E86 but bad timing when I actually was ready to buy new, so got the E89. Always loved the first gen. My car's still nice but I love small(er) cars.

Especially in the US, the muscle car approach has its fans. Not for me. I like power, but nothing replaces handling and appropriate weight for the chassis. |
