I wonder if, upon the eventual discontinuation of manual in the m3, they will experience similar blowback?

I am driving an M3 CS because when my lease was up every manual m3 in the country was sold. I love the CS. it handles night and day vs a comp pack. HOwever, I'm 37, this is my first auto, and I am so glad i only did a 2 year lease because i cannot wait to get back into a stick.
I believe so. It would be the nail in the coffin for a whole host of buyers. There are enough MT lovers out there that it would impact sales.
