I liked it at first, kind of a novelty.

Now i turned it completely off with BM3.

I found i was missing that valuable and satisfying part of driving a manual. Even in town, traffic, parking etc needing subtle gentle rev matching, not blips.

Even my wife prefers it now as it behaves like a 'proper' manual (Euro ladies do stick )

Not heel and toe-ing racer boy stuff, just managing the engine speed yourself. I usually brake in gear for a corner, then come off the brake, blip, down a gear or two,, turn in, gas...

On the road, even pressing on i never find the need to simultaneously brake and downshift. Brake first then shift.

Now it's just like any other manual. More fun.
