I'll buy one of your photos for $5. I think I can handle whatever it is without any permanent mental damage. If I am wrong, I have a backup plan. I have $20 left over and I can buy 3 cheap bottles of wine and drink myself into forget-the-photo mode and still have $5 left over. Last edited by sygazelle; 03-06-2022 at 09:35 PM.. |

When you put it in full M mode though, you can turn off all that and have it revert back to just you rowing the gears with zero assistance. Point is, I never found it unbearable - even in Los Angeles traffic. |

Rowing the gears is NOT fun if you're in bumper-to-bumper traffic all the time. That was the case for me when I owned manual cars while living in SoCal. I've grown to like DCT equipped cars ever since and I'm fine without having the third pedal.

In contrast I recently rented an Evo X on turo and the clutch on that was freaking brutal.

I'll have to live vicariously through you. My history thus far for bmw has been E92 M3 F10 M5 F80 M3 F90 M5 So technically, it should be G80 but I went another way so I may end up missing this iteration. |

For me, I wanted a manual car with usable backseats. So my options were limited... G80, or Cadillac CT4/5 V BW was pretty much my list of options. I've never been a big Caddy fan and their interiors always leave a lot to be desired. So G80 was the natural choice. Also helps that I don't mind the looks.
