As many of you know I am a very harsh critic of many of the paddle shifting transmissions out there and am simply bored by the Audi/VW DSG and several of the others, but I found the M5/M6 transmission to be one of the few I liked more than my GTA's (honestly speaking, one of the other ones was BF's GS...).
It still did feel like an auto, a very good auto, but still an auto

It is, it'd work wonders in a lighter car
And again, you get a lot of car for the money.
