IMO BMW will receive a lot of backlash in Urrup for dropping the manual trans on the M5.

Apparently you aren't very well acquainted with the sort of people who buy M5's; 85% of that customer base won't care. The only other manual option for performance saloon buyers is the US version of the Audi RS5; everything else is automatic. BMW is making this choice because customers don't have a choice, but there is a good chance that this move will delay Audi from ditching the manual as manual bimmer drivers jump ship.

What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?

A: The prick is on the inside!


They won't care. Most of them are self-obsessed with their own "image" and how possessing "stuff" makes them looks special and superior to everyone else. This doesn't apply to only BMW drivers though... the same holds true for Mercedes, Lexus and Audi drivers also. Acuras, oddly for some reason, not so much.
