Half a second difference over the quarter from manual to auto G87.
“Unfortunately, the M2’s changes bring an additional 184 pounds of mass compared with the old Competition model. Our 3745-pound test car weighed more than an M4 equipped with a manual transmission and carbon-ceramic brakes, and it was 0.1 second slower to 60 mph than the M4 or old M2 Comp, posting a 3.9-second time. In terms of top-gear acceleration from 30 and 50 mph, where engine responsiveness is key, the gap between the M2 and its predecessor is even more pronounced. Only at triple-digit speeds does the new car flex its stronger legs: While its 12.2-second quarter-mile pass may be just a tenth quicker than before, its 118-mph trap speed is 4 mph faster. The automatic version we tested was unsurprisingly quicker, sprinting to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and covering the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 122 mph, running wheel to wheel with the 503-hp M3 Competition.”

Can you link where you are seeing this? I’ve looked all over C&D and can’t find this. The C&D testing I’ve found for their best 0-60 time on a manual F87 M2C is 3.9 sec (which would be the same) and 1/4 is 12.4 sec.
