Well, if the the OP sits in 30-60 minutes of heavy traffic everyday that will pretty much ruin the driving experience right there. The M6 shines when you can wind out the gears and you have some open road to do so not when you have to 1000 reps of engaging 1st gear each morning in stop and go traffic.
I was in a similar situation with my gen5 1LE. I loved driving the manual but honestly every time I saw a bunch of traffic ahead I would cringe as I knew I had 45 minutes or so of pure joy as I roll out of first, short shift to 2nd and back to neutral. Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat. I actually started wondering how long it would take to wear out the clutch with this type of driving.
I was willing to put up with the annoyances with the M6 while in traffic until I test drove the A8. It shifts fast and firm and realistically makes for a better daily driver for the type of driving I deal with.
