The 6MT/B58 and 6MT/B48 drivetrains are being dropped due to take rates becoming too low to sustain a business case. It has nothing to do with coupes since all form factors - sedan, touring, coupe, convertible - are affected.

The 6MT/S58 remains viable due to adequate customer interest across the M2, M3, and M4.
