Auto vs. Manual

[peej]

E39 M5. Nice. One of my all-time favorite cars.

E92 was my favorite look and bodystyle...that m3 n/a v8 and then they went with a single twinscroll and just downhill from there imo..

2013 SRT - Black w/ Champagne Stripes...how about you?

2017 ACR Extreme. All white with carbon package. Kinda wanted the Brass Monkey wheels but had to "settle" for what the dealer had at the time. Which was a massive inventory, I think they ended up with a LOT of build slots for the final year.

E39 M5. Nice. One of my all-time favorite cars.

+1! Still wish I'd bought one before they got too old and prices went waayyy up. I still remember Josh Kalis's E39 M5 with the 83mm Kellener race exhaust. Sounded sooo good. 2nd best M5 exhaust sound ever, but will never beat the aural masterpiece that was Meisterschaft's E60 offering.

23 MidNight Steel Metallic, 5BW, Manual with CCB's! Wanted to roll gears, my shirts say " real sports cars don't shift themselves"! Just kidding, I wanted to be in the limited production category. car will bring more cash when it's time to sell. Both versions auto/manual are bad ass vehicles!!

Manual because that’s what I like to drive. That said, I also have a 10 speed auto in a 2025 diesel Denali (used to tow a heavy boat) and it feels like it reads my mind in terms of gear position. I wonder if there is any similarities in terms of its design vs. the BW. The truck is roughly 500 HP with 900 ft. lbs of torque.

Lord, that's some serious tongue weight...should've gotten a 1/2 for that

I went with the automatic. I'm too old to be cranking away at gears and probably doing damage to the clutch and transmission, just waiting for a huge repair bill down the road. I wanted a luxury , but powerful car that I could drive and not have to think about. Push the "go fast" pedal and steer ! I was originally planning on driving the car on many cross country trips, but that 17 gallon tank and not so great gas mileage made that thought go away. I use my Kia Telluride and Jeep Grand Cherokee for those long trips and less gas stops.

Manual because it’s more enjoyable to drive and if we don’t keep buying them manufacturers will have no incentive to keep making them. Save The Manuals!
