With the MT, the area between the shifter and the dash is storage (ashtray) and power. There is one cup holder behind the iDrive controller. If you open the center console storage area, there is a plastic clip to help you place another cup. But if you have anything in the center console (the USB/Aux port is right there), you can't put another cup there. And you'd have to leave the center console opened. There's effectively one cup holder with the 6MT. I'm assuming there isn't enough area between the shifter and the dash for cups probably because of the shifter linkage. With the auto the shifter is electronic so all you'd need is a couple of wires. The MT would require an actual linkage.
