Can't help but be disappointed about that. As I wrote in the World Premiere thread, having seen this in YT vids I love the look. With what looks like the interior from the 4-Series, or close, they're really taking the 2-Series upscale and with the cool exterior cues like power dome hood and M-like mirrors, the limited slip and great engine this would be an unbeatable package at the price point. But it's disappointing that the MT is gone for all but the M cars. I know the standard response is that it's all about take-rate and profits, but this is the one area where I thought BMW might say take-rate be damned and keep the MT just for brand perception.
