I drove my friends 911 GT3 with MT and understood immediately the lure of the manual. It's an effort - in, satisfaction out type of equation. There is tremendous feeling when you get it right. It feels like you are driving a race car. It's light and stripped down with very little tech to get in the way. It's also pretty exhausting to drive for very long.
My M240i is really a very different beast. Lots of tech and incredible engineering yields an effortlessly fast car that just goes fast without trying hard. Having it with a MT doesn't seem like a good fit to me.
