You'd think that this amazing list of cars would only have been available with automatic gearboxes, but each one had a manual option that very few people decided to go for.

Note to self: Find E60 and F10 M5 with a manual and cling to them for dear life.

I'm sad hardly anyone bought the manual M5 and it was only sold in the US. I can see why people bought the SMG but you just can't beat a fun manual.

[kalmm]

I'm glad you can still buy a bmw m4 in a manual makes it a much better drivers car.

Run in front of a car = Get tired
Run in behind of a car = get exhausted

Aston Martin V12 vantage with the dogleg 7 speeder was definitely a suprise

[dodiloi]

Why the hell would you sell the manual option only in one country, where 80% of the population doesn`t know how to drive a manual?
What the hell BMW?

At 0:05 that's one of my autocross videos! From my E60 M5 :) A bit out of place since my M5 is an SMG, but still. Cool that you guys picked it up!

Last time I was this early, most cars still offered Manual Gearboxes

[matschgi]

Why in the fuck would they sell manual M/// Bmws in the United States of Automatic gearboxes? Why not Europe?

[TheCarLovingSwede]

Why were some only available in North America, where many people can't drive a manual at all?

There are manual cayenne’s in Spain...



Only 1 in 10000

I find it ironic that so many people want these cars in manual, yet the people who can afford to buy them go for auto. Its very sad. I wish there was a sports car (and offroad truck) company that was run by petrolheads and made affordable cars for petrolheads

[BondTheOGYT]

I wish every car had a Manual option 🙄

1999-2006
BMW X5

[chandrashekarnagaraja]

I do prefer a manual to a automatic..
And you should have talent to shift gears.. Moreover you get the feel of driving a vehicle

[AdonisAmarante]

Proof that the majority of supercar buyers today are just rich snobs who want to show off and don't really care about cars.

[Freimopp]

Lamborghini Gallardo superleggera
lamborghini murcielago SV with manual, very rare

[dkarim]

W140 S-Class.
It was available with a 5 speed manual.






MB managed to mix oil & water.

The newest BMW M6 has a manual option which is awesome and scary at the same time.
