I'm old, 78. I've had manual transmissions most of my life in sports cars. The only manual I've ever loved was not in a sports car but in a 1987 325 with a ZF 5sp, only after I put Redline 75-90w in it. Everything else from a TR3 to a Miata had just been OK at best, nothing like the satisfaction of a good motorcycle transmission.
I now have a M340i and a new Z4 both with the ZF 8sp trans. I could never go back to a stick shift. Time for me to admit sticks are becoming relegated to agricultural equipment, unless you just enjoy the fun of shifting... and that's fine.
