"Would be better if it came with manual instead"
"Auto is boring"
"Save the manuals"

It's a 100k+ car, barely anyone gives a shit about manuals.

Everyone also knows the only reason why 90% of Porsche owners buy manual 911s is to resell it later.


Grow up and adapt to technology. People who keep asking for manuals and no awd are keeping BMW behind, because right now, audi and mercedes are making cars much better than BMW. M3 isn't what it used to be and is no longer the benchmark.
Amusingly wrong. Guess you haven't looked at Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin prices? Not uncommon for manuals to be 4-5x the price of flappy paddles.

But it is correct that demand for large cars with manuals is and always has been comically small. The E38 had a manual option, but nearly no one took it. Now that the 5er is that size, it makes sense that no one wants one either.

But the asinine poor people are the only ones that want manuals bs is simply wrong.
