The DCT is quicker, smoother, more efficient, more up to date and more expensive. Plus, my wife can't drive a three pedal manual. So why, after 25 years of driving manual transmission sports/sporty cars did I still buy the manual? It's what I prefer.

I am not Senna. I don't drag race. I don't care about bragging rights. I don't drive like a fool on public roads. I do, from time to time, auto cross and I do, nearly every time I drive, enjoy my cars once their warmed up. That's me.

I am a little disappointed that the manual transmission in the E90 M3 frankly is just ok. But, I love getting a heel toe downshift right. I like the challenge of getting smooth shifts up and down, even out of a less than stellar transmission.

So that, is why I chose the transmission I chose.
