Manual perhaps base. That satisfies a romantic idea of manual defining enthusiast--and quiets the critics and magazines.

THEN, Offer the DCT as a fine option--and it will also sell just as well. Happy to pay more for that option. Better that option for me [no flames please] than more and more "connectivity/sound" trying to help everyone ride along with me via more and more and more technology.

The DCT is a great box, and allows a lot of cross-over driving opps, if wanted. It's used well in several models and opens the door to more sales opportunities. Why limit the revenue potentials.
The main reason would be to keep people from choosing the M2 over the M3/M4. People are already cross shopping these cars in the M3/M4 forums.

Probably going for those impressed by the m235i but want a bit more performance out of it.
