Mercedes is making a 4 cylinder c63, Audi is automatic only. Lexus and Acura are boring. BMW has you "locked in". They know these people have nowhere to go, myself included. Best to embrace the grille with open arms.

It having a manual is irrelevant. Only a small percentage of enthusiasts care about a manual, they're not enough to make a model profitable. What matters is what the masses want and if BMW's product is better than what Mercedes and Audi is offering. Remember the masses aren't going to the track and they aren't going to be drifting around corners. If a vehicle being boring was a bad thing, SUV sales wouldn't be so high. The average buyer isn't going to think an RS5 is more boring than a M3.
