However, BMW could revisit the 6MT for an undeniably upmarket CS down the road. I say this based on the last paragraph in the evo article from this post:

The way I see it, BMW is trying to force everyone who wants MT/RWD/driving pleasure to only buy M2 variants because it takes more resource to offer across M range.

In this age where character and customization are valued more than ever, this is a less than ideal decision in the hindsight of cost cutting in production and R&D.
