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...
Amen, I threw a shit fit when they changed pricing to make us eat auto trans cost. Absolute garbage.
