TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
short of manual tranny, i still like a real "schtick" where i move the lever into position... on my wife's E90, the MB and the new 2012 335 (what is that thing? F25?) there are electronic gizmos that will not help in real driving - imagine the fast and furious going through all those crazy Gs and then GENTLY touching the gear selector button to shift!!! CRACK, here goes the stick, broken off!!!

even in auto tranny, a light flick of the wrist to engage the E53 in manual or sport mode is not THAT light - it would inflict damage to the gentle stick on the newer cars...
