Live well my friends....live well.
If they do go away with the MT for the m5/m6- the positive is I've always wanted a lambo time to start saving now!
Now that would be sticking it to them.....hit them where it hurts lol.
I know I'm not speaking for much of the f13/m6 community- but the biggest reason I didn't go to MB and picked up an AMG GTS or a huracan is because of the MT.

If we start comparing DCT between the more expensive M cars and lambos- I'm pretty certain most would chose the latter so I truly hope they reconsider
I don't think it will be anytime soon as they will lose the "enthusiasts"business for sure but the trend towards dct/auto is real and strong.
But losses will result from a decision such as this,especially if alternatives are out there to fill this need as you pointed out.
Next thing you know there will be a Save the manual protests happening in a city near you.
