While the F8x offered both manual and DCT, I am not sure that the chassis of manual and DCT cars are identical, especially in the case of the GTS, which was not designed with a manual box in mind. The DCT box and the manual box are not even remotely close to each other in terms of operation/size/etc. The same is true of a lot of 2000-2010 vehicles with automated manual transmissions (Ferrari/Maserati with the F1 box, Lamborghini with E-Gear, Audi with R-Tronic, BMW with SMG).

Harness plugs for manuals were simply tucked away on SMG cars and vice versa, so it was very easy to add manual specific or SMG specific harness add-ons. The chassis were identical, making it easy for the production line (and later owners) to make SMG or manual vehicles. On older SMG M cars, the automated manual and manual shared the same gearbox - one was manually controlled with a linkage and the other was computer controlled with an SMG pump and solenoids. After parts are sourced and installed you will need to program the ecu for manual. more than likely parts list would look like, Engine harness for manual as the harness has connectors for sensors for the auto trans which wont be used in the manual unless the harness is the same or you're willing to hack up your current harness, clutch, flywheel, transmission, drive shaft if necessary, need to look at auto vs manual rear gearing if diff if the same then no need to do anything here, trans tunnel modification unless the hole is the same for the 2 then no need for parts, manual shifter and interior bezel shifter surround for manual, manual transmission mount bracket & bushings. The only issue you'd run into is the computer which would easily be taken care of through programming. Mechanically everything is there and readily available. I've done some of these on older M cars and it was pretty straight forward. It's like the guys converting Ferrari 360CS' or E46 CSL's, only worth doing if done right. Just do the conversion right using all OEM parts, competent shop etc. Makes a lot more sense now and, if converting to manual would make you drive the GTS more, I say go for it. What are the specs on the e92 that "may be for sale soon"? The GTS has lost so much in value it doesn't make sense to move it so why not make it a car I want to drive more? I've reached out to a couple of highly experienced BMW shops and am waiting to hear back their thoughts. My E92 is likely to be sold next leaving the GTS and my E30 (which will go last if ever). I have since moved on after a nearly 25 year love fest with the M3 having recently sold my E36, E36 LTW, E46.

I knew from the beginning that it would be an issue however I was building my dream M3 collection and was offered an allocation for a GTS and felt that it was the ultimate expression of the F series M4 so. Because of this the car never sees any use. I have owned the car for a little over 4 years, love everything about it except the flappy paddles. While it certainly begs the question as to why one would hack up a special edition car when you could just build up an already manual M4. Thanks for all of the replies and thoughts.
