The only 3/4 series models that are not made by BMW with the 6MT is the 3.0L diesels (330d or 335d). Too much torque for them, apparently. But all other Coupes, Gran Coupes, Sedans and Wagons are made with 6MT. I know, I have a RWD 335i Touring with 6MT and it's the bee's knees.
That said, if BMW stopped making the 6MT for my car, and offered only the 8AT for the same money, I won't cry into my beer and buy another car. I'll take the 8AT, but the 6MT makes me just a little bit happier.
People said CDs killed vinyl records two decades ago. Guess what? They were wrong. As long as there is a demand for anachronisms, some quarters will continue to feed the need. It just may not have your preferred labels.
