Out of several autos I've driven (spirited driving, not track) I feel BMW's transmissions communicate well with the driver and hold gear when necessary and quickly learn what the driver wants to do. But of course they'll never be as good as the driver selecting the right gear.

That's a fantastic video by the way!
I wonder if he was comparing it to the dct in auto mode? Great video!
