I think it is good as it is. How lazy can one be?

I do not like full auto, but as an programming option on the
iDrive could be the solution to meet anyones standards...

But I'm lazy enoungh to love autotrans

If it hasn't rained for a while, it's always a good idea to use wash-wipe first to get rid of all the oil & grime and to keep your wiper blades in good condition. So I like it as it is.
