Driving in the city makes manual transmissions sometimes a pain in the arse. I enjoy manuals and everything, but it can be a bit jarring.
No doubt, BMW will see loss of sales with this move. I don't see the logic behind it though. The appeal of an M5 is the ability to drop the kids off at school in a luxurious manner, and then turn into a wild beast on the track in an instant. Some feel a manual is required for the latter, so they won't buy it if it isn't offered in one.
Sucks for the guys who won't buy it because of one.
