From my point of view, I don't feel cheated by the lack of a competition model and I don't care which AT is offered. I drive a 340 now and it has plenty of power for my needs. I expect to get an M3 whenever I am ready to replace my car, not because I want more power or because I think the M3 looks cool, but I just prefer the manual transmission. I am grateful that there is one model available. I don't mind the rev matching and for me, living in San Francisco, the clutch delay valve is a help when I need to back up a steep hill to get into a tight parking space.
