What makes you stick to automatics and not go 5- or 6-speed manual ? Would that make more sense when racing / auto crossing ?

Two reasons: 1. I am 53 years old and just not interested in manual shifting anymore, 2. I love left foot braking.



I leased two BMW 335i's in succession from 2007 to 2013. Both as automatics. Those cars taught me that when an engine has a good wide power band, modern automatics work great. There is no need for a stick shift. Yes, you loose the visceral appeal of shifting manually, but using your left foot to brake opens up other possibilities.
