"2024 BMW Z4: Embracing the Manual Transmission Experience"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Jalopnik
The 2024 BMW Z4 will finally be offered with a manual transmission in the U.S., making it more appealing to enthusiasts who have been drawn to the Toyota Supra's manual option. The manual transmission will be part of a driver-focused package, including improved steering feel, sportier suspension, stiffer anti-roll bars, and staggered tires. BMW plans to produce as many manual Z4s as there is demand, and early reviews suggest that the manual transmission is a significant improvement over the Supra's, offering crisper and more satisfying shifts. The revised six-speed manual, coupled with the powerful B58 six-cylinder engine, has received high praise for its performance.
