I would only agree if you count Auto/RWD in that 50% (I'm not sure if that's a confirmed combo).

What I understood from the OP is that it'll be launched as Manual/RWD (no Auto/RWD) and that's what I can't understand as the Manual/RWD version will be 20% or less sales in my opinion.
Yeah i can't tell based on above but seems like there will be an auto RWD option which would be part of that 50%

F80 manual take rate in the US was like 28% according to bmwblog as of their article in 1/2019.

I can't begin to guess what the distribution will look like but I'm hoping more units will sell to the colder markets to help R&D moving forward.

Okay fine I'll venture a guess:

1/3 6MT/RWD
1/3 Auto/RWD
1/3 Auto/AWD
