You like them or you don't. A MT is more fun to drive for many, me included. I've driven the SAT. Actually had one for a weekend to try out. The automatic simply isn't close to the same sensation or experience. It isn't bad, it is just different. You didn't care for a MT, so you didn't order one. And that's great. But to suggest that there is no reason to be "in tune" with a car like the F10 bespeaks ignorance. With or without your smiley faces included. If you enjoy driving a manual transmission, the version mated to either the 550 or the 535 is a joy to engage and control. IMO.
