That would be the most retarded backward thinking concept ever. When you get the manual tranny package, you also get crank windows, a cassette deck and lumbar seats you pump up with a squeeze ball.....vinyl roof is optional

Just put a real dual clutch in the E63 and call it a day

This guy really summed it up well..

Its all about the nature of the car if it needs manual or not.

Looks wise it looks so beastly, especially from the front. Saw a bronzish orange one the other day in a parking garage. It was dark around it and the thing looked so mean sitting there.

The F10 M5 is the last M5 that will ever get a option for stick.
And only US and Canada have a option for stick.

Anyway the DCT in the M5 is ridiculous fast and when driving in auto its super smooth.
Why would anyone want a manual.
Longer shift times
Looses boost between shifts and don't hold as much boost as DCT does.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Did you see that thread on the recent testing of the manual M5 by Motortrend? The result is: it sucks! Just put a DCT on it. Here is the link:

On the other hand, I would love to have hand crank windows...at least for the driver's window.

I believe they've done this with the E63 refresh.
