Just to be clear, BMW hasn't offered the manual transmission in the M5 for quite some time. The last year it was available it was only offered in the USA (isn't that a switch?) after a bunch of bellyaching about not having one. And then hardly anyone bought it.

Just because Cadillac says they offer one doesn't mean any dealers will order it that way or that any of us may ever see one with a manual. Complaints about BMW ditching the manuals in most of their USA models have to be taken with a dose of the facts that most people don't order their new cars that way. Makes it very difficult for those of us who buy used to hope to see a manual BMW ever again.

Mine currently:
Too many -02-series manuals to count 4-sp and 5-sp
(2) E28 5-sp sticks
E34 5-sp stick
E39 5-sp stick
E82 6-sp stick
(5) BMW bikes 4-sp, 5-sp, and 6-sp
'84 Toyota pickup 5-sp
