So from that perspective I would imagine BMW will almost never release a mass production car that would neglect most of their buyers. at the end of the day BMW is out to make money, they will always cater to bottom line over enthusiast thats just the way it is. If it doesn't make dollars it doesn't make cents (sense)

Can’t argue with the data here but the CS May attract a different buyer profile.
I’ve been watching the M2 CS A bit and interestingly about 75% of confirmed buyers seem to be selecting 6MT.

Granted that is only reflective of about 10% of US allocations and forum buyers will tend to skew 6MT, but it wouldn’t be crazy if the eventual manual take rate on those was around 50%.
I think a special version will get more 6MT interest because it’s fundamentally the enthusiast version
