Not the same because 6MTs were offered in all those cars with the same power between the manual and SMG/DCTs. When has an M ever had less power output based on what transmission it came with? So yes its an end of an era to M cars being offered with equal power outputs across both manual and whatever AT/DCT/SMG they are offering.

Also like jcali said there are no other 4 door manual sedans out there anymore, and soon there will be none when only a handful of people buy the 'pure' G8xs. So yes again a most likely end to that era as well. And regardless of what price they may or may not command 20 years from now it doesn't make a damn bit of difference today in whether BMW or anyone makes another manual sports car that can do it all.
