Everyone's more than welcome to have their preference, and I think most would agree when it comes to engagement, the manual is the way to go ultimately, however picking out a single feature-point as an argument against the other option being objectively superior overall, doesn't exactly help you to make your point.

By this logic "a run-down waiting to be scrapeed 316i is the best BMW because it's superior in having the lowest price. Never mind all the other factors."

Now based on your posts in this thread, I'm guessing you'll disregard my opinion completely as well, as I haven't shown any evidence I'd be driving a true manual transmission M BMW, which among other things in your opinion makes me automatically a "roundelhound" I guess.
Very purist of you, sir.
"Engagement" is not the point I am making. Thanks for participating.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
