7 speeds? At what point does it stop being a BMW and becomes a semi-truck?

I love driving manuals, but driving around other people in high traffic areas really pisses me off sometimes. Nothing like having to slam on the brakes because of one idiot driver, row through all the gears, and have to do it all again 30 seconds later because someone pulls out in front of you and stops.

On a twisty back road or less populated area? Manual all the way. With today's drivers who are constantly distracted it makes any kind of driving not as enjoyable unless you are in the middle of nowhere. When I commuted into the city I probably had one or two close calls with other idiots on a daily basis.
