BMW sell probably 5-7% of their cars with manual. you should just be happy it's even still offered unlike other brands (yes I am looking at you, Audi). the US market, in general, wants boring slush boxes----as do most BMW drivers. it's been like this for a very long time. no surprises!

The manual gearbox is spiralling downhill with the advent of dual clutch gearboxes and will probably continue to dwindle its sales primarily for MPG reasons as well as lack of demand.
