    Plenty of brands stopped offering manual variants of plenty of models. IIRC BMW practically begged people to stop asking for manual variants, saying it just does not make any sense to mess with the supply chain and the production line and the car itself just to put an objectively inferior transmission inside it.

      The M series cars still have manual as an option, I think. They’re a bit outside of my price range, so I’m trying to keep my old manual 328 running as long as I can.

        They also offer it on the Z4 with the Handschalter package. Pretty sure this will be the last year of the Z4 tho.
