Maybe just maybe Toyota thinks the current BMW manual is not upto snuff / not meeting launch deadlines thus they need marketing to spin it? Otherwise why would they even mention that a manual option is a possibility in the future. Just a thought.
I recently drove a friend's 2017 M3 manual and the shifter/clutch combo was solid. Could use a little more feedback going into each gate, but everything was nice and smooth. No grinds and no missed shifts. The clutch was good, especially considering it was holding 400+ lbs-ft.

Not sure why the Supra isn't being offered with a manual, but BMW isn't lacking in expertise in that area.
