They can hire a Porsche guy for steering feedback, pretty sure the average BMW customer will not want Porsche ride, and manual is a "specific" Porsche thing, everyone else is dropping it.
the last few BMW offered with manual didn't have a high take up rate. I suppose if BMW go hardcore and make a GT3 equivalents AND out perform Porsche while under price Porsche it will sell, though in the end of day will never be enough number to really matter for BMW
