In all seriousness though, if they offer a 6spd (hoping for 7spd), I'm waiting until the last year of the model line because the M3 after the G80 will certainly NOT have a manual transmission.
Unless the car has a manual it’s just a method of transporting your ass from point a to point b... automatics are completely useless in being fun regardless of whether it’s a dct or an automatic... can care less about how fast it shifts, automatics are for soccer moms! I had all of them, E60 M5 SMG (fun for the first week), F06 M6 (fun for the first 2 weeks)... currently F90 M5 (old fart’s rocket ship, only fun momentarily when you floor it)... the last epic car I owned that put a smile on my face every day I drove it was an E60 545i with a 6 speed manual! Honestly, I am having more fun driving my manual 1.5 turbo chinese Chery Tiggo 7 in Shanghai, than driving my F90 M5 back in Canada... go figure!
lol F06 with DCT for me, same. Loved a lot about the but not fun as often as a good car should be. F80 DCT was slightly more fun but still lost out big time to my F80 6MT. That's the one I should've held onto...
