There is no doubt that a manual is more involving, but the modern auto boxes are superb, THE BMW 8 speed with flick across sport mode and paddles are so much faster away from the lights and so very controllable at a touch of the finger tips,
Great in crawling traffic. For the driver just a big grade up from a stick and clutch change

My wife had a ‘16 X3 with the 8-speed auto, and I wish it had a manual. It’s just not fun to me, and I don’t think the response is all that great.
