The shifter I would rate 6.5/10. Could be more precise and a little rubbery.
I wish BMW could replicate the Miata's manual clutch and shifter in the M2. My opinion only.

Dude. I test drove the ND2 extensively prior to deciding on ordering the M2C, and I don't know how Mazda does it but the 6MT in that is an absolute gem.
You have to be a total moron to screw up on the clutch, it's fool-proof with excellent feel. Combine that with a nice notchy shifter and I was so in love.
Only reason I backed out was because it was just......too small, even for me.
