So if they struggled to decide to keep it at all, and manual isn't available in higher model comps, I'm worried M2 will also lose the manual down the line.

In some markets the fact that it's now an up charge for the manual also seems to lend credence to my concerns.

I could be way off base, too, and wouldn't mind more insights/correction.

But that's why I'm buying a manual car now, and if the comp comes with a manual, then I'll just get one of those when the time comes.
What about the S58?There was talk that maybe when the M3 and M4 get the facelift in 2024 that the cars might only come with an S58 with mild hybrid technology.Does that mean that when BMW changes the M2 to the M2 Competition in 2024 it could also come with the mild hybrid?
