For the 2023 model year, the Toyota Supra finally got an available manual gearbox as an answer to the growing demand from customers. This still isn’t the case when it comes to the mechanically related BMW Z4 M40i, but there are new positive signs that next year we could finally see a three-pedal option for the speedy roadster.
There have been rumors that BMW is working on a shift-your-own-gears version of the six-cylinder Z4 for the model’s facelift, but when it arrived, the six-speed manual was nowhere to be found. While we are certain the version with the eight-speed automatic won’t lose its sales crown to the manual transmission model, there has been continuous interest from BMW enthusiasts and, according to a new report, their calls might be finally answered for the 2024 model year.
