To add to the poll, which will hold it's value better long term?

I'm new to the M family and when given the decision it was no brainer for me, manual transmission all the way. It's like watching dinosaurs go extinct. Not only are we dealing with advances computers are making with automatic transmissions, but electric/hybrids are chipping away at all the performance cars on the market.

Obviously it lacks a bunch of features, but the G8x base model is one of the most high-tech manual transmission cars on the market.
