Seriously, though, true operation of a manual transmission is a subconscious activity.

If you're doing it right, it's as effortless as breathing.

P.S. Props for the 12-year bump - that's gotta be some kind of record.

Brother, being too busy pushing buttons on your iDrive is a terrible reason to not be engaged in the actual act of driving while behind the wheel.

If you have a significant commute that involves sitting in traffic just get auto. Otherwise, I think manuals are more fun.
