F10 Manual or Auto?

[GiuseppeD]

Hey guys, been searching for newer BMW's for some time now. All of my older ones have been manual. Well I had a 2015 F10 528i Sport for a weekend, kind of loved it but also felt it 1. lacked power (535i or 550i) and 2. I was missing the shifting from my 3 series. Am I crazy though? For those of you that have driven/owned manual F10's, is it underwhelming and not quite suited for the car or is it worth searching for?

I also think that to be an interesting question. I drive a lot of F10s for our dealership, and the 528i definitely feels lacking when you punch it (compared to the rest of the line up). I can't help but think the 6-speed may put a little more fun into the car, and maybe a better "seat of the pants" feeling.

Agreed, I'd definitely like to know how a 550i M sport 6 speed drives

I have a 2013 535i M Sport 6MT. It's quite responsive. I just hate the light clutch. It engages way too high for my liking. The car is also long and heavy. I just don't think the manual transmission is a great match.
