I have been a very active BMW CCA member for 39 years and have never come across a member that would rather drive a Civic over an M5 no matter what the transmission was.

Manuals are actually becoming quite rare. I am the only one I know with the current M3/M4 that has a 6MT. In fact many club people have asked me why I got my M4 with a 6MT.
