1st to 2nd is a bit tricky at first due to the super heavy flywheel and long clutch pedal engagement. But after a couple days you would be proficient at it.

A manual can't shift smoother and faster than an auto.

The shifting is something I got used to...if you want a smoother transition with the shifting you could change the clutch helper spring ^_^

Sorry OP, your thread is now a classic bashing of 7AT vs M6

As much as the car seems like a nice smooth start is impossible you will figure it out in short order. My test drive was down right embarassing, but now days if I am in town I can easily drive smoothly..

On a freeway ramp, hang on because I need to get up to speed and all bets are off on how smooth this will be.

auto is smooth as butter. i use it to shift from 1 to 2 from standstill then pop it in M, and when i come to a light I let it down shift for me for smoothness. 95% of the time I'm in M
