But as a old man who grew up with manuals being the performance choice, it's hard to turn my back on the dying breed. I'm pretty sure we will always have manuals but they are become much more rare. Glad someone likes the SMG! You can buy those cars at a discount so you will be a happy man, at least until you need to repair one.

Grew up driving manuals since back in the homeland automatics are almost non existent and when they do offer them, they are very expensive. So driving in bumper to bumper traffic etc is normal

Same and this is why I ordered my CS in DCT. BMW makes an incredible DCT and a terrible Manual. The choice was easy for me.

Ours might be one of the last DCT since the new M3/M4 uses ZF auto. I’m sure the new M3 will be great but why not further develop the DCT.

If it's definitely not a track car I'd gear towards a stick but they're both fun. If you have a few other manual cars including the 1M I would think about the dct. Trust your gut instinct

Ordered a manual to go along with my manual 1M and manual Z4M Coupe.

So I currently have a DCT M2C and a Type-R. Thinking of the CS manual in the future but never driven the manual on an M2C. I had an opportunity to do so just this evening and I am not happy with how the manual feels including how hard the clutch engagement is. Comparing to my Type-R tranny I would confidently say the M2C manual is crap. I'm sticking with DCT unless M2CS manual got overhauled.

This will be the last model with a DCT. Manuals keep coming.

Regarding engagement of the M2C clutch. I am just not talking about travel but also how hard to push and control it in comparison to my current Type-R. Maybe I'm just being a wuss or old age but I just don't see myself having fun with it when driving it for long period of time. DCT for sure.

Point being, the manual, even when "not great" still holds more experience for the driver than the best auto style box regardless of technological underpinning.

I get your point but regarding the dct on the M2CS, specially now that they are phasing out this tranny there is a big difference between ZF and DCT. It’s not just 7 speed auto vs 8 speed auto. DCT is what it is, a dual clutch and still engaging when driven as a manual and a ZF is a conventional auto. Another reason to get an M2C dct now and avoid an automatic M3.
