Seeing conflicting reports floating around about Manual availability in the M4, Autoblog reports today that the M4 will be coming DCT only. While Automotive.com confirmed on July 31 that the M4 and M3 will be getting Manual options..

Not sure who to believe, but I find it difficult to understand why M6 and M5 would get manuals but not M4. While on the flipside if you think about it 95% of M4s sold will do daily duty in a starbucks parking lot or rotting in city traffic... and the DCTs sell better, AND they cost more money...

Interesting, can anyone add perspective?

No way I hope this isn't true I mean I won;t be buying the M4 brand new but hopefully down the road I'll scoop up a used one in good condition in manual of course. Well there is still a chance since there are two different claims right.

I don't think we will know for sure until BMW releases the official press release.

Lets cross our fingers and hope for the manual to stay. Would you guys still be interested in buy a non manual M4?

I have no problem with it being DCT with no manual option, manual transmissions were so yesterday
