For what it's worth, I, too, am disappointed by BMWs decision to streamline the transmission choices. As I see it, the take rate is high enough to justify the production of the car, especially in an instance where you are now in a position to be the only purveyor of a manual transmission luxury automobile.
Heck, I'd be willing to pay a small premium for the MT. In fact, why don't they make MT cars a custom option only. That way, they don't have to worry so much about having too many that don't move.
Whatever the case, I hope the //M is as nice (in terms of residual) as the outgoing model was. I plan on saving every penny to get another.

I've suggested the same thing before. I'll gladly pay for a special order, "individual" option, whatever upcharge BMW wants to throw at it. Especially now that it's been confirmed BMW will make 6MT G20 in configurations not available in USA.
