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
2020–present G01 X3 xDrive30e (PHEV Version)
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)
2015–present F22 225i
2016–present F48 X1 25i/28i
2017–present F39 X2 25i/28i
2019–current F44 228i Gran Coupé xDrive
So I don't see any problem for MMC to offer a nice, slick BMW manual box. Without going nuts and checking out every model you mention, how many of those are in-line rear wheel drive? Top point Peter I’m guessing, not many

I’m guessing, not many G30 is RWD F22 is FWD F32 is RWD G01 is AWD (but has North South layout) G02 s AWD (but has North South layout) G01 e s AWD (but has North South layout) F56 is FWD F56 is FWD F22 is FWD F48 is RWD F39 is FWD F44 is RWD So at least 50% are RWD?
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

Well that hopefully means the manual gearbox version should be a good option then
I’ve nothing against auto boxes. I wouldn’t be without one for my daily driver as I drive about 40K miles a year and have done for 25 in business as I have clients all over the country
I just like my Morgan to be a completely different experience and a manual gearbox is part of that experience

I just like my Morgan to be a completely different experience and a manual gearbox is part of that experience I completely agree with that. A manual box keeps you in close contact and control with the car and enhances the sports car experience. Will all be revealed today in Geneva?
