A couple of thoughts.....Marginally better fuel economy, who cares about faster shifts unless youre racing and how does handling more power become a benefit?

Probably right. I did. E92 was first AT in 35 years. Paddles were fun at Mosport but boring/useless other than that IMO. Probably won't have another AT until I have too.
