It's quite sad, really, as Bimmers were the absolute pinnacle of performance. But now they're playing second fiddle to Audi and Jaguar (of all companies).

My brother just picked up his 2013 BMW M6, after being one of the first in the US with a 2006 M6. He just arrived back from his European Delivery tour, and his car will be here end of January. I actually quite liked the E62 BMW M6, and I'm curious how this F13 M6 Coupe model will compare.

From his drive in Germany/Austria he loved it - but he's sort of the new-age typical BMW customer, not concerned about electric-steering, feedback and bits like that. He's a quasi enthusiast...he bought an R8 V10 but got it with an automatic.
Yeah but isn't the R* auto really sometype of sequential gearbox ala dct/dsg? That type of tranny is nothing to sneeze @ and has several advantages.
