As much as I love the manual tranny in this car, I think I would get the DCT if I lived in Europe and spent time on the autobahn, strada, etc....

Truth be told I'm considering trading in the dct for a MT when they do the last model year of the current m2 (2020?) Seems a shame to not have the last great inline 6 manual transmission coup BMW makes. Not sure if their next generation cars will have that many cylinders or the option to buy a MT on their smaller coup. However I should probably save my money and not get wrecked by California taxes again. I think deep down inside I'll always wonder about shoulda coulda woulda made a different choice, because that's just my personality. I do have plenty of fun with DCT though and was glad you have it when I left work at midnight last night (working Saturday), I was tired, and they closed three lanes on the 101 and traffic became stop and go. Then when the lanes opened up it was back to sport+ in sequential!

Statistical significance applies to comparison groups that are chosen to be representative of a larger population. The numbers here are the total population. There is no larger group to extrapolate to and there is no possible sampling error since BMW sampled 100% of the population. Or are you suggesting that we don't really know how many were delivered to the USA, but it was 95% likely to have been between 3450 and 3550?

Way more than 5%, buddy. Every woman I know with an M2 has manual- except for me. I got a HEA and on the list for an '18 manual.

These statistics make one thing blatantly clear. Only North America cares about the manual. The rest of the world wants the DCT.

Seriously??? Taiwan and Hong Kong are not sovereign countries.
Taiwan might not be under communist control but Hong Kong is part of China and back from Britain since 1997... come on....these separatist shits are getting so old now..... |

The 6MT take ratio in the US would be even higher than 52 percent if all the HEA buyers were able to pick their gearbox. Instead, most dealers chose DCT for them. |

So people do choose to buy MT in a color other than black/white/gray - go USA!
