^^ you had an M3? E36 or E46?

And after that, being a manual m3, you feel the way you do about manuals? Doesn't make sense...

I for one can't believe that you prefer auto all of a sudden, considering the M3 has one of the best MT gearboxes out there..

"Transgender" Is the pc term, even though it's technically incorrect.

E46 competition package, full cage, short throw shifter, tuned, had dumps on the exhaust as well lol

i liked it and it was fun. i have no complaints about it.

the DCT is a better tech and faster it's hard to argue wiggling a little stick and being slower or grabbing paddles being faster and always having 2 hands on the wheel for safety and control.

plus i live in PA. you try driving a stick DD with a million hill starts and commute traffic. gets old real quick lol

I live in VA....one of THE worst areas in the country for traffic! Lol You tellin me? I drive 80 miles round trip daily...of course, I do have an AT Maxima for those days I want to lay back and relax...

Usually people who use traffic or hills as an excuse for buying an auto dont drive manual very well, just saying...lol not trying to hate on ya but traffic or hills never bothered me

Far as your e46 story, I dont believe it. The getrag 6MT in e46 destroyed auto M3's...I know, my boy had one for a while.

because its aimed at the driver, but an auto version would certainly be faster As it is currently with the 2011-2014 5.0's and the S550 5.0's. In the mustang world of coyote and up its painful obvious how much better the AT is

I've driven through all of VA and family in NOVA so 95 and 495 nonsense when around DC area blows.

sad part i have the 7AT but never use D (full auto). i shift all day every day.

oh i know the 6MT in the e46 was dominant but i was speaking to now and the DCT the M3 has.

i think people live in the past about certain things... for example let's use an 07 is250 vs an 08 beemer 3 series.

1 year different. 2 different cars, 2 different makers. the is250 had slack/delay during the 'manual shifting'. the beemie was faster. like damn fast.

now let's translate to a more recent version of the IS (14' i my experience) the manual shifting was a lot faster than the 07 version of the car. night and day.

just like how it's night and day between the whole at vs mt crank power drop of the has beens to now.







but i think we all know the real issue is that pansy is still hiding in the closet....
