I omitted to mention that BMW offers only automatic transmission as of now in the Indian market. I am used to auto transmission and prefer it to manual, but they should offer a manual option too.

There are 2 different dashboards posted here. The first is without the center console and later with one - which belongs to which car?

Well thats what the market says and demands.
I dont have figure of my head but the C class in manual barely sells and majority of the takers are taxi fleets which have kept the demand for stick shift alive not enthusiasts.
