There's apparently quite a large die-hard manual box market here.
Around 44% according to this Road & Track article:

"...the take rate for M3 manuals was a staggering 44 percent over the life of the E90-series cars."

Keep in mind that when they say E90-series cars, they mean the E90, E92, and E93. One would assume that the sedan and 'vert buyer would skew the numbers toward the DCT a bit, considering the different intentions of those cars.
