Well, see that is the point. You did not get the 6MT in your M4 so that is one more "vote" against the MT in BMW's mind. Only 1 out of 3 people on this forum (real enthusiasts) getting the 6MT sends a big message to BMW.
Why would only people that buy a 6mt be considered "real enthusiasts"? Even Europe doesn't want manuals anymore and it is in fact North America that holds out for sticks more than anyone. Perhaps our definitons of real enthusiast differ, others may call that enthusiast a hold out against technology...
