Since the launch of the new BMW M5 it has gained high praise from many of the world’s motoring press. However, one thing missing from the F10M has been the option of a good old manual transmission. Well, thanks to this spy pic taken in Europe it seems that omission looks like being rectified.
Oddly, though, the report on 5POST reckons the manual box will only be for the US market. Surely not, tradition says that would be the least likely market to embrace the option.

It will be a US only option, the same with the E60 M5, where the US was the only market to have a six speed manual box option.. The squeaky wheels on M5board.com managed to create enough noise that BMWUSA gave them a manual box 12-18 months into the production run of E60..
