My left knee is bone on bone. As long is I have a left leg, I will drive a manual. The pain is manageable as I am sitting when I drive. |

come on lol....unless you have 0 skill with a standard, the difference is negligible at best in terms of performance and fuel economy. I find most people use this as scape goat reason for being shit ass drivers with a stick. Not saying you in particular but just in general.

Not that it matters in the least because I have no doubt the manual is more fun to throw around, but there is no doubt stock for stock which car is faster. |

It assumes a person is actually going to keep the car for an extended period But which transmission is more economical over the long run including service and the eventual need to rebuild/service it? Anyone want to venture cost to replace that AT vs rebuild the MT? IDK |

I haven't had the opportunity to test the manual at the track, but there is no way short of possibly being a pro driver that you are only .3 behind when almost every publication I have read was at least .5 behind in the manual.

I dont think that there's much doubt remaining that the modern slushbox is a hair faster than the MT and that the dual clutch transmissions avail on higher end vehicles are even faster
I'm honestly impressed by the slushbox in the M240....it did a wonderful job of anticipating proper gear selection But I still prefer a MT personally and wish the xdrive was avail with one |

manual fangirls reaching for anything because they have a slower car.

The auto in the M235i is one heck of a box. It is not your grandma's auto.
No one in hell could you shift as fast as the auto can in sport mode, the thing is ridiculous. That said, I do still love driving a manual.

So who give a flying leap? How many people keep their cars long enough to have a transmission failure. Your argument is very weak.
