Why I think the upcoming CS should be manual only

This is my case for why I think the next gen CS should be manual only:


- The F82/80 CS did not sell well at all in USA or Canada. BMWNA had to impose significant price reductions to get them off their lots. I believe that M enthusiasts will purchase a manual CS

- Per BMW, the CS is supposed to be a dual purpose street/track not a track dedicated vehicle like the CSL/GTS. Thus, lap-times are not as important and losing a tenth due to manual vs auto doesn’t really matter.

- Now that the DCT is gone, the ZF8 is definitely a less engaging transmission option, so a manual lines up better with the CS philosophy.

- If Porsche can spend the $$ to match a high HP vehicle to a manual transmission, so can BMW for the CS.
