I've owned a FBO E85 tuned 135i & OG M2 (manual) and one DCT E90 M3.
For the V8 I would get a manual, no question. For these turbo charged cars I would go with the auto. Especially when you throw in xDrive into the mix.
I hope they never stop making manuals. It's a great option and the market should always be there. After driving over 90k miles in a manual I'm over it but I don't want them to stop making manuals. There is always room for 1-3 manual cars in my garage. Preferably my OG M2, a GT3 and a E93 M3.
The auto works better with the car and is more fun in my opinion. This doesn't take away from the enjoyment or brilliance of the manual.
