Good to see BMW designed this car with both transmissions in mind - nice they are offering both options. Now all I need to do is make enough money to get my wife her gift so I can add the F10
Is the wife's gift a car also?

I say you're right. I don't see BMW offering a manual for the next m5 in 7 years DCT technology will be even more improved by then and MT will make less and less of a business case when more % of buyers choose DCT in the next few years.

Like you said, get it now North American folks. It may be the last.
