I commute in my m2 daily and I couldn’t imagine having it manual….If it wasn’t my daily though I def would’ve got the manual. If you do get the auto I would recommend the XHP trans tune. It gets rid of torque limiters especially noticeable when going 1-2 and 2-3 under heavy acceleration. Also brings the shift times to DCT level….im talking like no delay at all it’s pretty impressive.

Synchros are designed to well, synchronize the gear dog with the gear wheel. Rev matching reduces the amount of work the synchros have to do. Even without double clutching the synchros appear to handle this well. With my M2 -- as with all my other manual equipped cars and even those without the rev matching feature -- the shifts happen quicker than if I double clutch. |

Simple answer is no, I wouldn't have bought it if it was auto only. Has the auto ever tempted me? No.
On track, the auto is a better option for me as I can concentrate on taking better lines and lowering my times. If I were to have a track only car, then it makes sense getting something I can shift using my hands but since I drive my car on the street, there's no way I'm giving up the art of driving for convenience. I have a DCT in the wife's car, shifts fast, still doesn't hold a candle to a 6 speed. Unless you physically can't shift (injury or something), get the manual.

Not much credibility around here. Go back to their initial review. They apparently don't understand the concept of downshifting in a manual transmission vehicle. And now that thousands of us have actually taken delivery of our 6MTs, we see for ourselves. |

Heel/toeing was used rather than double clutching. Double clutching was required pre-synchro mesh transmissions. Nice adapting a shifting technique required decades ago before synchro-mesh transmissions became the norm. |

Not sure what the argument here is. The closer the flywheel speed and the transmission input shaft speed are, the less work the synchros have to do. Less work equals less wear and easier and faster gear engagement.

I agree. Sadly we are waiting for the engine to slow down, which is an entirely different problem with a twin turbo 6. Rev hang is a real thing.

A medium capacity motorcycle engine revving to 18,000RPM is close to the ultimate rev-happy device, though lacking in torque. I would say the 2.0 Duratec I have in my Caterham increases or decreases revs at twice the rate of the S58, having a 3.5kg flywheel, components to rev to 9,000RPM and 130bhp/litre naturally aspirated horsepower with reasonable torque at 260Nm, but all produced above 5500RPM, so you need to keep the engine between 5500 and over 8000RPM for it to work well. |

In UK manuals have been the norm until quite recently. Had manuals all my driving life. I can’t make the argument manuals are better from a performance point but from an enjoyment point of view I’m in the manual camp until it’s unavailable.

Heel / toe has nothing to do with double clutching also... heel/toe is a technique to brake and blip the throttle at the same time. Really, I'd stop digging this hole . |
