The proof that the MT BMW is on it's way out in the US market is that MT is now a no cost option whereas we used to have to pay extra for the Auto.
The financial incentive of the MT is gone, the performance and efficiency advantage of the MT is gone. The only benefit that remains is the fun/involvement factor.
It's only a matter of time.
Then there is the Cadillac ATS. Buy the manual trans and get a limited slip diff for free.
