The B58 4 cylinder is sold with both auto and manual transmissions, this is the list for the 248 bhp version

2016–present G30 530i
2016–present F22 230i[10]
2016–present F32/F33/F36 430i
2018–present G01 X3 xDrive30i
2018–present G02 X4 xDrive30i

And the 228 bhp version...2014–present F56 MINI JCW Hardtop and JCW Cabrio (320 Nm)[9]
2017–present F56 MINI JCW Clubman and JCW Countryman ALL4 (350 Nm)

So I don't see any problem for MMC to offer a nice, slick BMW manual box.
