I hope they don't follow that formula, but if they do, then that settles my decision. I'll be driving a ZF8 comp.

Couldn't agree more my friend. I hate how my decision is being made for me this time around

I don't think anything has been established. The car will have a de-tuned S58 with an estimated 455hp…which is still less than a base G80 which is only offered in manual. So we know it can handle the power.

Not to mention the F87 comp obviously offered a manual.

More points to a manual comp than not.
Yes, I'm praying it is too. If they don't, then bmw is talking out of both sides of their mouth bc they claimed it wasn't offered on g80 comp bc it couldn't handle 500 hp.
