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.

You should try see if BMW will let you sample one and halfway through your long term test try the other, then you can better compare which one suits the car better.
Why is this even a question? Lol
I cant even believe why ct is asking this
Sure get it with an Auto but make sure you remove that M badge first…
Its still an M no matter the transmission
Manual of course!
Auto
Manual.
Manual please. In the future this won’t even be possible anymore.
MANUAL
Try the stickshift to see if BMW had done anything to improve their manuals. I saw lots of negative feedback about their shifter. #savethemanuals.
