1) Manual Benefits: the connected experience. Less expensive. Weights less. Extra pedal
Manual Downsides: slower shifting, can't drink your latte while heel-toeing, traffic woes
2) AWD Benefits: Faster 0-60, extra grip to accelerate sooner in cornering, wet performance, forgivable driving characteristics
AWD Downsides: Heavier, not as easy to maintain a "drift", more understeer, slightly more drivetrain loss of power.
The G80 will be interesting. 2020 is just in time for me to consider another M3 in 2021 when hopefully it will get more refined.
