According to my knowledge there will not be a stick shift available for the new F10 550i.

I guess the V8 engines TT power and torgue is too much for any manual BMW gearbox,
at least for now.

If a 600lbs-ft Ford Turbo Diesel can have a stick shift, then I think the 550i can have one too. BMW better make a manual.

A 6-speed manual will be available in the US market 550.

Unless you purchase the optional 8 speed automatic transmission, in the US you get a 6 speed manual transmission.
