I’ve traditionally driven manuals, and I have NO doubt that really any manual performance car would be more engaging. If and when I opt for a weekend car in the next few years, a G80 M3 manual will be in strong consideration (against either a C8 or a 718 Boxster S)!
p.s. I’ve been a member on this site since the early 2000s! We still own (via my son in college, a 2014 manual 335i M-Sport)…and of course the new X3.

When my new z06 arrives by sept, that’s when I’m going to get rid of my model 3 for a plaid.
I thought about the long range but for only 20 grand more I rather have something that solidifies pure street dominance. Nothing will ever touch you on the road.
Brooks from dragtimes went 9.5 in his model s plaid on 50%soc which is insane.
Meanwhile if my model 3 is at 50%. It’ll probably run a 12.5 lol
I still don’t mind manual however I’m not in love with it like I used to. So many amazing fast cars these days and it can only be appreciated with the advanced autos now.
