Can the 0-60 of the MT be reproduced with the AT in "manual" mode? Does the AT actually respond to your shifting when you want ( MT BMW spec 6.1) adn deliver the same torq? Or is it slushy and shifts sort-of when it wants anyway? For example, I was trying the "manual" shifting in the G37, and man, what a swooshie-lurchy experience that was. I would shift the shifter, and then there was some indeterminate amount of time, then the gear would shift with a sync of some sort (poorly in my opinion) , and then kind of lurch. I mean, to me, it was poor. The plain automatic is OK.

I'd be happy with a 128 if, with a couple reasonable mods, I could get it under 6 sec., in the "sport manual" shift mode.

Raceman says he can get below the mid 5s (I'm interpolating here) with his more seriously modded 128 (including ECU tuning, which I don't know of anyone doing here in the state?)
