I just traded in my BMW 335 coupe with the paddles. Hated it, just not the same experience. All of my sports cars have been manuals. Not to mention reliability of BMWs SUCK!

I had the exact same BMW experience....hated that SMG paddle shifting piece of crap. I don't know what I was thinking. So glad to be back to a real manual transmission. BMWs might be the ultimate driving machine, but not very often because they are always in the shop. I don't think 6 months went by without some issue cropping up. Never realized how much I would miss that 3rd pedal.

I made the mistake of buying a Mustang with an automatic transmission. Now that I have the 370 6MT, I'm extremely happy. :-)

I don't know why the 50/50 weight distribution things is so heavily marketed. 50/50 is NOT ideal. Don't know who gave em that idea. Oh yeah, and their **** breaks all the time. Not what I would consider a well engineered car.

I find it funny that the car I traded in for the BMW was a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 with close to 400whp. I did all the work and tuning to the car myself. Beat the hell out of it everyday and I never had on issue with it. Stock block, stock clutch, traded it with 83,000 miles and it was still running like a champ. Although I did forget to tell the dealer it ran on a mixture of the E85 and 93 octane...:rofl2:

your mistake was buying a mustang. the tranny choice is irrelevant at that point.
