BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - BMW M Committed to Manual Transmissions on M2, M3, M4 as Long as Take Rates Justifies

For at least until Autonomous Driving is fully implement, BMW will always offer a manual option in their lower-tier M cars..

They are not just going to leave potential customers on the table..

But honestly, one of big reasons the manual take rate is so skewed is because of the $2,900 up-charge for the DCT. When the ZF8 is a free auto option in the M cars, I could see the take rate lowering..
