The F80 6MT is not very good. Rubbery is the term that comes to mind when I think about it. Porsche manual transmissions on the other hand. Drool.
So I don't know if it can be characterized as not very good. Because I think that is just a BMW trait. Their gearbox has always been "rubbery" and it seems like that is their MO. Again, some people definitely prefer that feel vs. the super direct and tightness of a Porsche gearbox.
