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.

Quite the contrary, I think the M3/4 owners w/ manual tranny's are keeping them.
For example well over half the M2's were manual transmissions.
Look up the numbers it's higher than you realize.
