Both BMW and MB offer carbon packages for interior and exterior trim for about $5k+, upgraded track seats for $2500-4k, Carbon Ceramic brakes for $8-9k, upgraded interior trims and materials for ~$3k, as well as matte and specialty paint colors for ~5k. Pretty similar pricing. Cars are becoming more and more expensive with every year, hell we live in the age of the $100k M3 existing (and that's not even the competition or AWD).

My favorite is coming to this forum to learn more about how the BMW (Ultimate Driving Machine) has the better interior and how important this should be to me.

People complained that in the ATS there wasn't a volume knob (I only use the buttons on the steering wheel as that's where my hands are) and now people complain that there is one on the dash and the console and somehow it bothers them.

The only time I use the volume knob in my E90 is to turn off the radio.

Ok, for some functions you will have to touch the screen if you get the manual.
M5 doesn't have to worry about it as they don't have a manual. If you are cross shopping the CT5 Blackwing automatic with others it's a non issue and if you want a manual you have to decide which is more important, the manual or touching the screen for some items. Seems reasonable for the "enthusiast" and none of the rest will get the manual anyway. Regardless of the model the screen is not the same, and there is a volume knob and a long row of buttons, both limiting how much you touch the screen regardless of the model you pick. I doubt I would use the knob, same reason I don't want a separate mouse or controller when using a tablet.

CT4 is under 3900lbs
CT5 is slightly above 4100lbs Cadillac hasn't mentioned the difference in weight between the Manual and Auto models, as well as the upcoming Magnesium Wheels that will be offered eventually.

I'm on the waiting list even though I see zero sign of Supercruise being an option; and this car violates my rule against the tacky-ass center stripe on the steering wheel. I'll likely bail but I'm here for now.
