Actually I thought it was kind of funny. I think his motive was to "zing" US drivers a bit for choosing manual transmissions despite their drawbacks. Or I guess maybe he could be taking a shot at his fellow countrymen for abandoning the manual transmission because they found it too much work to operate. But yeah, either way, definitely a little douchey of him I'd say.

They definitely didn't mean the UK since the 550i 6MT is US only. I think even the 535i 6MT might be US only - can't remember. south, do any 5 series sold overseas sport a 6MT option?
