There was a really good point by Lamborghini a few years back that as much as people are lamenting over manuals...they have been electronically assisted for years and barely even register as real manual driving. I do put my $ where my mouth us and have a leased m240i stick but the reality is I drove a friends 69…

(I have a reasonably ok sports car history, moved from CA back to NY and had to get rid of my fc rx7, 997 911 conv, v8 vantage and ats and this was the…
