Since our late midnight showing of the new BMW 1M Coupe and our invitation to register we have amassed over 10,000 registrations of interest for the new 1M Coupe.

In regards to your question :

In the North American market the SMG of the BMW M5 , BMW M6 and BMW M6 Cabrio outsold the manual transmissions. Currently M-DCT is also increasing it's market share over the manual transmission.
With the Z4 Coupe we sold more Z4 Coupe 3.0i than Z4M Coupe because of the option for automatic transmission.
In North America as well as other countries. Manual transmissions count for 1for every 10 automatic transmission sales.
