It's nice to hear the confirmation, but this isn't really news.
There is no technical advantage to offering a 6MT, but BMW will continue doing it while they can. Once hybrid/electric comes in, no one will be able to offer a manual and it will die.
It also serves as a reminder that when sales numbers justify it, manufacturers are happy to meet these demands.
Why is there no 6MT 330i? Probably because the take rate in the F30 was 5%.
Why is there no manual in the G8X in the UK? Because the take rate was microscopic.
etc etc
I'll get the G80 6MT after the LCI.
