I don't understand the car guy thing of hating automatics and all that, i'm glad they exist. There are people who can't drive manual for one reason or another but they can still enjoy the car with an auto. Personally I think most older cars are better with manual transmissions simply because the technology wasn't there. Modern automatics are a total different story.

I completely agree. I'll take my '03 auto z4 any day compared to a '79 auto vette I drove once.
I think sport button is a must. In sport manual shift auto I think the m54 in my z4 is more responsive and smoother shifting than my base e82 128 with n52.
And not sure how many others out there left foot brake in their auto but it does change the vanilla driving that the "manual only" crowd tend to overlook. I think left foot braking during heavy cornering can be just as gratifying to an auto driver as heel toe work for a manual driver during cornering. Each their own but different can be good to either way
