Is the manual still the enthusiast choice?

Just curious if people are finding the f30 as sporty with a manual as the new 8 speed sport auto.

In terms of performance, does the 6 speed keep up with the 8 speed. I've read that mileage suffers a little. But those who are diehard manual drivers, can you convince a once diehard 6 speed owner if moving to a 6 speed on the f30 is a chance worth taking.

I know this topic has been beaten to death. On mobile I can't search forums. In my heart of hearts I just can't decide.

To me a bmw used to be the ultimate driving machine because of the 6 speed manual. Today? I'm not sure anymore. I've driven both. Maybe if I can't decide, I need another brand?
