I am 36yrs old and plan to own a manual car as long as possible in my life. Whoever sells the last one I will look to buy it.

Is BMW going to keep the manual after the G8X generation? It seems likely that they won't since they have already phased it out by not providing it in the competition models, or at all in certain regions.
