Oh my goodness—- I’m not alone when it comes to confronting car issues with the wife! LOL
It is absolutely a no-win scenario. And I’ve learned to just fix it as well.
This comment made my day….

The 6MT G80 is definitely the sweet spot!
After a few BMWs, including M cars, this one is remarkable

I don't know why all Manual Transmissions have to feel alike. To me its about driving experience that differs between a Honda, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Porsche MTs and their clutch engagement points.

I like my G80 MT yeah its different from my other cars but its the whole package with S58 a heavy duty clutch and the charm of a RWD car.

Thoughts?

My initial impression of the unit wasn't entirely positive but I was still thrilled to be back rowing my own gears. With exceptions, I agree with your sentiment. I have, in years past, driven MTs that were entirely unacceptable...but its been a long time.
