When thinking about a manual, enjoying the driving AND shifting experience should be the priority. Manual transmissions are more enjoyable with linear engine curves. While yes the manual is lesser in peak power it's likely better matched to a manual driving experience. There is a such thing as having too much power especially in different places in the rev range to maximize driving experience for the manual vs driving experience for the auto.

This thread should die a horrible death....I refuse to further comment lol.

Might be true, I believe the output is adjusted downward to avoid that the transmission is blown to pieces, not to optimise the drivers experience. That's not an opinion, that's science.

You guys are being trolled by OP. Stop feeding it.

Nobody who buys a manual needs to justify his choice. Some people will never understand. Others will understand and troll. Let's just all be thankful BMW has given us this choice and let trolls do what they do..piss on peoples' parades.

Completely agree, that's why I stopped. When I basically called him a troll he liked the comment.
