I've driven a M5 with the ZF8 and I think your description is spot on. The trans really is smooth and not sporty as I would like. Works well on the M5 as a cruiser, but I'm pretty sure I don't want that on an M2 or sporty small car. The next gen M2 will be interesting with on the MT and ZF option. May have to consider a MT again...
