Correct me IF I am wrong... but I thought only the
1M and
M3 are available in (6MT) manual transmisions. Every other
//M is either a DCT or SMG trans. Seems logical that the regular BMW's will be only turbo autos( DCT's) too.
BMW should wake up and continue to offer "some" inline sixes(NA) for us die hards - WITH a 6MT bitte! It's ok to offer the main stream customers a modern turbo four banger... but I would rather have an I6 - Danke BMW.
