Should Our BMW M2 Longtermer Be A Manual, Or An Automatic?
Recently, we enjoyed a very entertaining week with a BMW M2, which saw us bomb down the autobahn to the Nurburgring N24 and go for a lap of the Nordschleife. Since we’re greedy, we still wanted more time with the M2, and fortunately, we’ve been granted our wish: this September a BMW M2 will be joining Car Throttle’s long-term test fleet, alongside ‘our’ Honda Civic Type R and another awesome car which is set to arrive in the coming weeks.
Whatever happens the M2 will be a Long Beach Blue example, but we have been given a choice of transmissions: the six-speed manual, or the seven-speed dual-clutch. To help us make our decision, we want to know what kind of M2 you’d rather see. Get voting!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Is this a serious question? Manual for gods sake
Manual!!
Ask stupid questions get stupid anwsers… manual son… manual
Why even bother with asking this? Everybody is just gonna go “Hurr durr manual 4 life, if you like auto you should die”
I’m going to get flamed for this but get an auto one! You have plenty experience with Manual M cars to see if the Automatic can measure up to rowing your own gears in daily situations.
MANUAL
auto. we have seen reviews of the manual in motor trend and CT and everywhere else so shiw us how good the AT is
Manual for more driftyness, but I have to admit that the paddle shift box from BMW is pretty good
MANual
The DCT gearbox, it’s quicker. And call it by it’s correct name!
