The manual is still unconfirmed, but we will still likely have one in the M2 coupe, as officials previously said that lower tier M's (M2/3/4) will have a manual for the future.

BMW have said this several times already. Awaiting next article in a couple months saying BMW confirms rwd 2 series, again.
I know, I thought this was already known. I think many people were confused by the "2 series" gran coupe. They thought that it represented the new 2 series platform, instead it's an entirely different car. I have to say that naming that car the 2gc was deceitful. The 2 series platform probably isn't particularly amenable to adopting a gran coupe style, so they used the 1 series platform instead. Ok fair enough but call it what it is, a 1 series.
