Yep, no idea what these guys are on about.

Yes and I made the mistake of buying the manual. Dudes talking themselves up about driving a stick with a servo doing 80% of the work makes no sense to me.

Clever use of “interesting” to translate “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read”. Kudos!

Neither of them are great, so get whatever you desire and don’t look back. I have the ZF and there’s definitely a delay in shifts. It’s nowhere near as enjoyable as a PDK.

I wouldn’t concern yourself with the reported lack of torque on the manual. These cars have plenty of torque. They’re traction limited in lower gears so you won’t even be able to feel it. Even if you can perceive the difference between the two, your body will adjust and it won’t matter.

I drove a new X3MC at the dealer today, specifically to get a feel for the auto+S58.

I’ll be ordering my M2 in a 6MT.

While the Auto was very good, I felt the control and a bit of the magic was missing.
I will deal with the MT in traffic and that’s that, lol.

I also saw another vehicle in Portimao Blue Metallic. This confirmed my desires for Frozen Portimao Blue.

Now I just need my ‘25 allotment!

I plan on ordering a MT as soon as I see if there are any individual colors available. I want a MT because, well, I already have a beast with no gears to shift.

MT for the win.

Just came back from a back-to-back X3M comp & Gen3 Macan S testdrives myself. Honestly, it's a night and day difference between this and M-DCT, let alone PDK, in shift crispness and speed. I really did not have fun paddle shifting the car.

6MT will make you very happy; just make sure to wait until the clutch is fully broken in. Huge difference.
