Swapping the 8AT for a 6MT

Every sports car I have owned before came with a MT and the debate about MT or AT went back and forth for a while before I pulled the trigger. One of the core reasons I opted for the 8AT instead of a 6MT for the recent 2018 M240i purchase was for a future vehicle swap / hand-off to the wife. My plan is in 2 to 3 years when the wife’s current ride needs replacement and a bit more scratch is in the bank, the current BIMMER gets an upgrade in the usage department from a weekend only fun car to the wife’s daily driver / top-down day driver. Now I have a reason to buy another weekend only fun car, this time I’ll splurge just a bit more for a true “M” coupe with a 6MT.
