I am on the wait list, and want to go with 6MT. But ... let's just hope that they put an improved 6MT in the G87.
I've driven 2 G80 M4s with the manual, and it's a massive step backwards from my OG F87 6MT. Sloppy and rubbery with what feels like a longer clutch takeup. Very disappointing. The CTV-4 Blackwing's manual is lightyears better. But hopefully they will make some improvements.
Hey BMW .... you listening???
