Because......... In order to afford an M2, I would have to sell the S1000r, which is my power fix.

I can neither plumb, except the depths of this forum, nor do I wear a flat cap.

Though it is not BMW.GmbH that is preventing you having a SFR manual, just BMW UKjohn-e89 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 12:30 amIf there’s no demand why bother offering a manual at all then, why invest any money at all in it…? All that sticking to one colour does is limit your audience….id have thought that’s the opposite of what they want no…? I simply don’t get the rationale of let’s put a manual box in but limit colours. Car manufacturers paint in batches of one colour, it makes no difference if the car is auto or manual, a big part of the wait for a new car you order is waiting until they get enough cars ordered to paint a batch in one colour, a car is built from a sheet of rolled steel into the drive away finished vehicle in 24hrs, except waiting for paint, so put a manual box in, get more orders in, paint them more quickly…happy customers…..you’d assume…

If it is BMW UK holding back the options, they obviously either don't expect, or want, to sell ANY.
Could be they are 'in league' with our Gov and getting kickbacks for every expensive EV pile-o-shite they can flog?
