When you believe they would have fixed it by now, why did they deplete all the torque underneath 2600rpm? A master attempt of the bavarian engineering staff to make the car better after +40years of experience with turbo fed engines?
You're complaining about nothing and by the way, the title for this thread is wrong. It should be "why choose a manual over an 8AT?" since it's the difference between the two models.

People who are still driving manual in 2020 don't need to explain themselves. BMW gets it.
