This is just an ESTIMATE and data can be skewed by outliers. There's about 16 M2 CS's listed (on auto websites) currently. On AVERAGE, Manuals have a ~$3,485 premium. When I run this data through a quick regression, the coefficient for a manual transmission is a ~+$7,457 premium. Tough to do a robust analysis b/c the sample is so small at any given time.

The CCB on only a very few of these cars seems like a valued option. Porsche seems to do the same, but curious if you’ve got the data for the M2CS.

As good as the DCT is, I fully agree that a manual, CCB car will be the most desirable. If I had I spec'd and ordered my car, it would have been with the CCB's. My car had 43 miles on it a year after the release of the "cs", so I did not hesitate to buy it.
All configurations are amazing, I feel privileged to own one.
