I think a lot of people on here would be happier about the price if BMW were charging ~$1500 or whatever for the ZF auto transmission. I know I would.
If the price had been $42,500 for the manual and the $44K for the auto, it would have been easier to swallow in my opinion.
There has been a subtle shift, and now a manual transmission is a "no cost" option, which means we are all subsidizing the autos for the masses.
BMW could also do what they have done in the past, and make more options, such as a HUD, an ala carte option and people could choose whether or not they want to buy it...
