The answer is simple: What else can you get for $30k that is comparable to an E91?

Stick, wagon, RWD.

The car literally doesn’t exist. So, given that, is it really a big deal to spend an extra $10k to get the car you want, vs. spending $60-80k (!) to get the equivalent newer car? (That isn’t even equivalent.)

The automatic is cheap because it’s fundamentally not special. The stick is.
