As I understand it, MT isn't an option on the European M5, only on the US models. It seems to me that the MT's sit the longest and are the hardest to resell. After driving the DCT, I didn't even need to test the MT to know what I liked best and I drove four on the floor for years in a lot of different cars, sports and not sporty. You could also say that Amish are purists from the point of view of technology, right? LOL!
