You can't get an MT6 on the 2013 328i x-drive so I don't see why they would add it back on the 2014, unless there is massive demand for it, which there probably isn't.
I probably would have pulled the trigger on an F30 purchase by now if I didn't have to spring for the 335 to get AWD and MT. I imagine I'm not alone on that but I suspect you're correct in your assessment. That would be a shame.
I highly doubt you will get more MT offerings. If anything, you should be worried about the availability of MTs on any configuration. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if BMW dropped MTs altogether in a year or two.
I think the logical progression would be that they stop offering it on the 328i next... especially if uptake is as low as I suspect it is.
Next it becomes a paid-for option on the 335i/340i. I bet dealers would look at this as a potential deterrent from people special ordering an MT car, then backing out, leaving the dealer with a hard to sell option.
