I don't think you quite understand what I'm saying. I personally will not buy the G20 if there is no manual option. I'm saying that if there are NO manual RWD sedans for sale, then you have to pick an automatic which allows you to choose between more cars. The F30 was not a very special car but a lot of manual die-hards bought them because it was one of the last high powered RWD sedans with a manual. If BMW ditches that option, then what's stopping those people (and me) from shopping elsewhere? Unless the G20 comes closer to Alfa Giulia levels of driving dynamics, you might as well cross shop MB, Audi, Lexus, and maybe even Genesis now.
If I'm not mistaken, there are plenty of bikes your friend can choose from so there's no reason to buy a car if he doesn't want to.
