They'll probably do some PE that's stick only...

You don't think the F10 already did that.

Pretty sure they already officially stated that the current gen M5 is the last stick they are offering in a M5.

You never know. I mean they said that for the E60 way back when. I think this time it will stick but even Porchse relented and made addational manual models.

It makes sense - and it's what customers of these types of cars want. Will make it harder to differentiate from m550, Audi s6 and e63 though. Let's be honest - no one buys these cars to drift or take on a track anymore.

Yeah, no way this upcoming M5 has a MT. Heck, I think the next gen M3 might get a MT, but I suspect that would be the last one to get one as well.
