I don;t think its a must. I believe most people would rather drive 6 speed manual rather than a 7 speed SMG or auto. Personally I like shifting and using the clutch. I'd rather do it. Its apart of driving pleasure. BMW should no that when they use computers for everything they can take away from that pure driving experience (which includes shifting). I cant wait for the M5 6 speed!
