I'm sure the auto is quicker shifting than I can - but after 45 years of driving MT cars I don't buy MT cars because I think I can shave a couple tenths from a 0-60 or 0-100 sprint; I always choose MT because I enjoy shifting. The slush box comment was probably off base - the new Step isn't the Powerglide from my '59 Impala
I'm after BMW to make the console right
- they are at least listening

I bet the new 8-speed will beat the best most people can do with foot and hand. And there is 8 of them. The gear changes, especially from third upwards, are very fast indeed.
