Review makes sense, but for daily driver usage leaving a dct m5 in drive or even sequential with paddles has no appeal to me.

The m5 with no MT option does not make this car more desirable than a cls panny gts or even an s6.

Obviously a personal opinion but choosing an m5 with an MT makes it easy for me to decide on what to buy because there is no other option with a MT. Slam dunk for bmw to keep the MT purists. 95% of my time in this car I will be ok having a less than perfect shift pattern. The other 5% of the time I would be wishing for more garage space to have a track car that doesn't weigh so much.
