What I'm saying is going from one to the other, it's almost a night and day difference and by BMW taking most of the complications out of operating a manual, makes the task almost second nature.
My point is that these are some the very things people on here make about a manual being so engaging and "real". So in a manual, its ok to pick and choose which assist features these days are ok, as long as you are mashing a clutch? See I view the DCT the same way, its an evolutionary technology, that provides a great experience without mashing the clutch.
