Perhaps if I did a lot of quarter mile runs that would mean more to me, but since I'm using it as a DD, the M6 is just much more fun.
One thing I didn't like about the A8 was the number of gears. There are too many of them. I found myself searching around with those stupid paddles trying to do multiple downshifts, having to look to see what gear I was in. From my perspective moving to a 10 speed would make that even worse.
With the M6. I have four solid gears to work with and two overdrive gears for cruising. I know the shift points well and even if I didn't have the HUD, I would still always be able to tell what gear I'm in.

He asked about 1LE A10 driving impressions, not “why did you go from an A8 to an M6?”
