If true that makes me seriously look elsewhere.
If BMW does not at least put some type of actuated manual transmission in the car, it will show they have given up. The E60 M5 had the paddle shifted manual, so why they would take a step back just does not make sense.

It was exceedingly difficult for me to find mine in 2010, it will only get harder to find as time goes on.

i agree to a certain extent but if you have a family or other circumstances that preclude you from owning a proper sports car a car like the M5 is a practical alternative. it has always been the more sporting model when you consider its history and competitors.

I know in the beginning DSC could not be fully disabled, dunno why.

ya i remember the DSC issue but i believe it was solved through either BMW itself or a fuse pull solution. don't quote me on that though

apparently a BMW service bulletin solves the DSC issue in E60 M5's equipped with a 6 speed
Modify DSC to allow "DISABLE" for 6sp - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Even mercedes "new" MCT is still an old school automatic except for the wet startup clutch vs torque converter. Not to be confused with the SLS's DCT...
