Pretty good review. And though i understand the need for the reviewer to over-emphasize the enthusiast transmission of choice. Only thing is Reviewers, unfairly keep knocking this auto. It's arguably the best "slush-box auto" out there and I happened to choose it because the auto felt significantly more torquey, (though numbers are the same) DRM added what i needed to replace manual and was easier to drive in traffic. Other cars like gencoupe, 128i, camaro and mustang v6 would probably never make it on my auto option list. But in the case of the Z. This thing felt different. It was closer to the 135i and Evo DCT which i consider to be amazing autos

 There will always be the elitest. Personally I was a manual only guy until I drove the Z, that & my wife wanted an auto so she could drive it  . Like that is going to happen  I almost didn't consider the car when she put her auto clause in there, but after driving it I quickly found how nice it was going to be.

I have been driving manuals for ever but when I got my Z I test drove both and ended up with the Auto. I fell in love with it and no more changing gears through crazy traffic every day. Plus my wife likes that its auto so she can drive it.
