Remember that the M235iR race cars come with the ZF 8-speed auto trans, just tweaked for racing. And you can believe that those M235iRs are driven a lot harder in races than you're ever going to do on street or track with a G8x.

Just sayin...I'm still an MT driver at heart...and just got Antique plates for my '95 E36 M3, so I won't be selling it...ever.

M235Rs have a modified version of ZF8 with torque converter removed. Racers complained about slower shifts which may be why they discontinued and moved to M2 CS racing.
