Whenever the topic of 6MT vs automatic of any kind comes up it seems like the world is made up of at least 50% MT drivers. Automotive journalists are fond of making statements like it is a waste to get some car or other with an automatic transmission.
The reality at BMW is the take rate for 6MT is in the low single digits and automotive journalists drive beat up Accords and Camrys when they are not working. I bet they are not driving those manual transmission test cars from the suburbs to a downtown office in rush hour traffic every weekday.
