He sold me the car and knew how it was optioned. He claimed that he could not locate a new 6MT coupe optioned like my car. The buyer was willing to go with a used coupe if it was in decent shape. We spoke a bit about the scarcity of the 6MT cars, apparently there is a significant shortage. I was tempted and I humored his bid and countered "how about a clean trade for a 6AT coupe?", he responded that if I was serious we can discuss it. Wow.

er... do it...? i just sold my 07 6mt coupe (e92) with 20k miles, sports pkg, premium package, heated seats, comfort access (key in the pocket) basically everything but idrive and the active cruise control, yes there is demand, but not demand for more than like 37k....

Last week my dealer did a search of California for a 6MT coupe and only 7 showed up(a couple were still on the boat, but headed for Cali). We broadened the search to the entire USA and it showed between 20 and 30!(can't remember the exact #). We didnt specify anything other than coupe and 6MT to get the broadest range of results...
