I was curious to see the differences between the two as I really prefer a manual transmission but based on some of the reviews and comments here, BMW hasn't invested much into the 6MT and maybe the automatic would be best suited for this car. After driving them back to back, I felt a significant difference between the two. I found the comp to be more twitchy (the rear end really liked to spin out) and the ride to be more susceptible to feeling imperfections in the road. When driving in the 6MT, I felt the car was more willing to be driven slower and the ride quality didn't suffer from poor road surfaces. The 6MT was still very exciting but just didn't seem like it was on steroids and not in a good way. Did anyone share my experience? I know it doesn't make sense considering the two cars are suppose to be identical in build form (except the tuning of the engine) but I couldn't help but notice them to be very different.
