One interesting fact about a potential 6MT G80 is that it would be the very last high performance sedan on the market with a manual transmission.
Ther are only four sedans left in the USA that offer a manual transmission paired with an engine that has more than four cylinders and more than ~300hp. Three of them are BMWs - the F80 M3, the F30 340i, and the F08 M6. All of those will be gone by next February or sooner. And the other one, the ATS-V, is also done after MY2018.
