How so? This is a first time that the M4 CS models is released so there is no historical data regarding the transmission preference of DCT vs 6MT.
The demands of the buyers of the vanilla M4 are quite different from the demands of the people that are willing to stretch their budget out a further 40-50% for a car take drives almost identical at road legal speed but without the comfort amenities.
People like me (and a few I know of) are willing to consider this car IF it has a 6MT. Now without this option the whole customer segment is gone and may be gone for good.
A 2nd hand Cayman GT4 or a Boxster Spyder is now a very attractive proposition for those who wants a 6MT CS. I really hope that the 6MT will be given a 2nd look on the M2 CS...for the sake of M and its fan base.
