I agree. If I worked at a dealership, I would find it extremely hard to justify ordering a manual car for the lot. MT drivers are usually very specific, and if you leave just one option off (Dynamic Handling, Sport VS M Sport package, ...) they might just rather wait for an ordered car.
I just hope that when (not if) BMW takes away the manual transmission option, they can at least find a way to offer it as a cost option or maybe as an individual option. I don't care. I'll pay the extra $1200 or $2000 for an MT. It's worth it to me, as I am sure it is for others.
