If BMW ditches the manual, then all of a sudden there are a ton of other cars that might be just as or even more desirable than an M3. There's the Giulia QV, the C63S , the RS4.

Some people have a large preference for manual transmissions. For some people it might be 10% of their decision, for others it could be 50%. If the manual transmission was just enough reason to have some choose the M3 over another car, no longer having the MT available could be the impetus to try out that competitor.
