"Now that nearly every brand has its hot hatch what do you think about the actual situation?"
I hate to tell you this, but BMW didn't invent the "Hot Hatch" with the M135i. The VW GTI and Ford RS preceded it by more than 30 years. Let alone the Omni GLH of the 1980's and the Honda Civic SI just to name a few.
IF anything, BMW is late to the Hot Hatch party by several decades.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
