I doubt you will find any F10 M5s with a manual transmission sitting on dealer's lots. The US is the only country even getting the manual option (everywhere is is DCT only).

Dealers know the manual transmission will sit, especially in the M5, so they will probably only order it for a sold allocation.

With that being said, the new M5 is on my "short list" to replace my 2011 M3 sedan when the lease is up next year. If I go with it I'll have the DCT transmission.
