I have the tap shift on my BMW and its fun to use, but usually leave it in "D". Not sure if the camaro tap shift will be as crisp as the BMW, but will give me something to play around with anyways. Maybe I cant use a manual, but just happy I can at least still drive!
I may be way off on this, but I've heard BMW sources some of their transmissions from GM. I read it in a car magazine. I'm pretty sure it was a 6 cylinder BMW though so if you have a 3 series it could be the same trans with different programming. That may be from an older one though.
