What is it, does MT have more "street cred". For the E92 M3 the split between MT and M-DCT in North America was almost precisely 50-50 (link). I strongly suspect it will be close to the same with the M4.

For those that really care about going the fastest possible (in a given car, of course) don't forget that a M-DCT is equivalent to at least 20 hp, perhaps as much as 40 compared to a MT. If the driver in the MT can not shift supremely fast (most of us) the number is closer to 40 hp.
it has nothing to do with street cred. nor going the fastest. MT is there for your own connection to the vehicle. I just "enjoy" MT thats all
