You do lose a cup holder - bad.
The one cup holder gets in the way of the center arm rest - not a problem for me.
The shifter gets in the way of the iDrive controller - not a problem for me.
Given everything BMW needed to get into the center console with the MT, I'd say it all works very well.
My only complaint would be the loss of some wood trim vs. the auto - not sure why that was necessary.
