    Same thing that happens with anything in a modern drive-by-wire BMW, you use the mechanical brakes to safely come to a stop and call a tow truck.

        "Cannot handle" 7 gears?! BMW forced us to handle early idrive so surely we could handle one more cog. a manual without a mechanical linkage is a pointless object

            Meh, if I was buying a new BMW, I'd get the DCT anyway.

            Fucking brilliant transmission.
