I think the Z4 failed after they killed the Z4M. To me, a sports car is a manual. Anything else, and you are getting into "lap times are more important to me than being connected with my ride".
To me, that's "meh". I don't care about going fast, I care about feeling like I am. I don't make any money off this ****, and I like smiling. If you DO make money, or you drive competitively and racing the clock is your game, then kudos, but all the BS about "Well my car is 0.2 seconds faster 0-60 because it drives for me, and it never misses a launch rpm or gear!" is just laughable to a guy like me who doesn't track cars often at all, if ever, and who doesn't live his life 1/4 mile at a time.
The one feature I do like is the auto-blipper, because it does preserve parts, and is a GREAT! learning tool. However, it can be turned 100% off at the press of a button, and to me, that's an important feature of that feature. You can't turn an SMG into a manual unless a 3rd pedal pops down from some hidden cubby or something, lol
