2012 BMW F10 M5: The F10 M5 will come equipped with the M-DCT and a manual transmission for US customers and enthusiasts. Having spent lots of time behind the wheel of E92 M3 models, both on and off track, I can tell you that this transmission is near perfection and faultless. Without having much of a business case to support it, the manual box will be offered for US customers that continue to scream “Save the manuals.” I say to them, go for it, but in the end, I may be the one with a big grin on my face as I lap around the track.
The S63 power is so brutal and the torque so sobering that a manual transmission will have a hard time doing justice to that chassis. This is one of those cases where BMW should have just said ” No” to a manual option and move on. Ferrari did exactly the same and it’s been working out for them ever since.
