We must applaud BMW on this step in the right direction. Or should we applaud ourselves for buying these cars? It takes two to tango.
I have a feeling if BMW simply started making the E46 M3 again without any change from the original and simply called it the 2020 M3 they would sell amazingly well here.
He does make one mistake. Autonomous cars are not the end of the manual. Innovation (and German over engineering) can make a transmission switchable between manual and automatic control of manual.
