Almost all of our driving school vehicles are automatics.

We have a couple of M5's and M6's that have manuals (the rest of those have SMG). Our fleet of M Coupes all have manuals.

It really doesn't matter for most of our driving schools (with the exception of the M Schools). In a manual, you would basically shift to second gear and leave it there the whole time.

In our M Schools we do teach Heal and Toe downshifting. We run a larger course on the M Schools with higher speeds which will make you practice the Heal and Toe downshifting technique.

Cool. Just was curious due to my lack of 6 speed driving experience and the fact that I'm going to be getting one. :)
