The roadster segment is sadly dying, however, Porsche will gladly sell you a Boxster and a manual transmission regardless of trim or engine.
My take is that BMW is underestimating demand here. I think they could sell a sufficient number of Z4s with 6MT to make it worth their while. But you're right about the Porsche Boxster being a good choice for those of us who want a two-seater convertible with 6MT. I'd just prefer to have a BMW.
