I dunno. I am just bummed out that manual cars are available at the low end (got a pretty good one of those in the GTI), or at too sporty/high end in M3, Blackwing, 911, etc. It's a shame one can't get the modern equivalent of a 540i 6MT, or even an E90 335i 6MT.

Realistically, if within the next two years, it's either the i4 M50 or some kind of automatic sedan. Maybe look into a less intense AMG. I hear good things about those.

Or, go the route of lemming and look into a sporty small SUV that can be more versatile for mixed family use as needed.
