There are 179 M4s for sale ATM, 13 of them are manual.
Manual is dying? people are not buying, especially when the autos are delivering so much more...."performance" when compared.^
Personally, as much as i love manuals....i think they suit the last get M cars much better (the NA engines), something about shifting at 8K+ rpms yourself is much more satisfying, it suited the car. New gen....manuals feel and even sound a bit off.

Not sure I understand.
If you have 82 M3s and only 2 are manuals, wouldn't it stand to reason that the manuals have nearly all been claimed and the DCT remains by a 40/1 ratio?
It's easier for a dealer to order a DCT, so they do. We still know a considerable amount of people (more than the 40/1 ratio above) will special order their BMW with a manual because it's the single most important option on their car.
That's true for me at least...
