I respectfully disagree. With increased price point just to get a DCT, by having to move up to M3 [with 4 doors??] or the M4, customers will walk away.
An M2 with a DCT might actually be just as rockabilly, as you wish---maybe in Dockers, not tuxedoes.
Manuals [for tranny's] just ought not be the final definition of a fine automobile. I just happily plead the option for DCT.
The price point difference will be enough to hold plenty of M2 customers, old and new, without forcing them to spend more on the M3/4. And that manual M2 could have a Heater Delete option for real defined rough and tumble if that would make anyone happy--as long as the option sheet at
least allows for the DCT. All conjecture at this point...but a load of fun...thanks.
