They could even make it a $1,000 option, I bet many would bite.
Yes, totally bizarre why BMW don't provide the options equally to their entire customer base.

Saying that, every single hire care I've ever had in the States has been an auto-gearbox (no choice ever given). Didn't think you knew what manuals were

Great build quality though - watched that YouTube video of the production assembly - mind blowing stuff.
