Unlike the M2/3/4 crowds, who are much more sport oriented.

Personally, I got my M6GC in DCT. I would never have gotten it in manual.
They're bulky luxury machine ! Let's slap a torque converter on them ! Electric power steering while we're at it too !

Manual is all about the enjoyment of the ride. It make a lot more sense to have a manual M5 than a track ready M2.
