I learned how to drive stick back in 1982 in my pops 1981 Ford F150, man that clutch was stiff!
Don't discount the 8speed sport auto's - at least go test them out as your inventory of 2011-2013 MT M-sport F10's are under 3% or something crazy. Plus with all the other electronic gizmo's to run and with even the steering wheel volume control on the RIGHT hand side of the wheel....your right hand will get quickly annoyed with having to shift around town. The 1st gear feels really short and choppy too and since you can't actually hear the engine (due to the sound insulation and exhausts) it's hard to pull away smoothly or have any "corner downshifty" fun like you still can in a 3 series.
