Agreed. The manual transmission option in my F30 helped solidify it as my choice of vehicle over others who don't do manual transmissions on their vehicles (or only offer base model manual tranny options). I picked it over the Kia Optima, Infiniti Q50, Mercedes CLA and Lexus IS350 among others.
If I have to buy an M in the future to continue having a MT BMW, I guess I'll just have to start saving now....or hope that prices on slightly used M models drop quickly!
