I do not expect the manual transmission to be around forever or even for much longer at a reasonable price point. This expectation is driving a significant portion of my decision to purchase the forthcoming G80 M3. There were credible concerns/questions around the 6MT being on offer for the G80/2 until such was confirmed, and that may well be as far as it goes in this market segment.

The absence of an available manual transmission effectively eliminates a large group of potential candidates for my purchase. That available pool is much smaller in 2020 than it was in 2008 when last I was looking to buy. In another dozen years the manual will almost certainly not be available. Thus, I look at it as "get in now, or try to find one in the used market later."
