Really? I always liked the feel and grab of BMW clutches. I thought Audi clutches are a bit too light, well at least from my experience in a B6 A4 1.8T.
Yeah, autos definitely have come a long ways. I read in a few articles that this is one of the best auto trannies around.
I haven't had the chance to drive one yet. 
Thanks for posting the vids!!!

Yeah... I think it's because I drive a Volkswagen, and their clutch grabs quite late, while the beemer clutch disengages early. I must admit though, havent had much experience in a manual BMW, so it's probably a lack of practice more than anything else.

BMW were first in the world with a 6-speed automatic and it was on the 7er.
A few years later MB and Lexus were first with 7/8 speed automatics.

I didn't mean "No they weren't first". I meant "No not everyone has 6-speed autos now".
