230i - no manual?

The press release only mentions a manual transmission being available for the M240i. Is that correct, and if so, does anyone know if that's permanent? Or, as with Audi and the new A4, are they waiting a few months to roll out the manual after introducing the auto-only model?

My 228i lease ends next March, and whether I decide to buy the car off lease or order a new 230i will depend on the availability of a manual. I'd hate to see BMW restrict manuals to the high-performance models alone.
