I would have absolutely ordered the m3cx with a manual if it were available and turned the rev matching off. Not sure you need to turn TC off to enjoy a manual car. That seems a bit Luddite to me. There’s never anything wrong with options though.

Options are good.
Yeah I love the interaction from a manual as well, my last two fun cars before the M4 CSL were manual. I was more trying to make the point that, today’s cars and manual transmission have a lot of automation to make the driving experience more digitized.

On the same vein, automatics have been developed to make cars more interactive and bridge that gap.

It’s not as simple as saying “oh it’s not a manual, then no thanks”. There are some sub-par manuals and manual cars, just like there are some not-so good automatics and dual clutches.

A car’s sense of interaction is based on more than gearshift in this age of increased digitization.
