Your post is similar to several others who recently went through the same search. When I was looking for a 6MT I didn't have the budget (nor did I want to) for a 15/16 as they were still $65k+ With depreciation hitting the F10 pretty hard I didn't want to lose $4-5K value in the first 6 months to year of ownership.
Anyway, it took me 3 months to find the right car. I was pretty specific beyond the 6MT. Needed to be Imperial Blue or Monte Carlo blue, sub 50k miles and have some options such as executive package. The B&O was a nice add too.
I searched eBay, AutoTempest, Auto Trader and most frequently cars.com. The place I bought mine from is called Cabriolet Motors. They specialize in finding "rare" versions of cars, in particular the BMW's they look for would be manuals. You could reach out to them and tell them what you're looking for.
As you have found out, it's a PITA looking for one because you have to look at literally every ad or run every vin. Mostly you will find manual listed and it's actually DCT but I came across at least one ad that just said automatic and a few ads where transmission wasn't specified and they ended up being manuals.
As a side note, most of the 6MT's built were 2013's (for the US market). 14-16 6MT were only handfuls each year.
