Does this BMW transmission shift better than the E90M3 6 speed? I hope so —but if it is more like the feedback of the M2 manual —BMW hasn’t quite figured out how to eliminate that getrag notchiness in its shifters. I know it’s a key BMW trait, but almost 12 years on, the Boxster 6 speed is still one of my favorites.

The transmission used in this G29 Z4 is from the six speed Toyota Supra. Allegedly Toyota got their hands on it.

BTW, in the 15 miles plus that I drove my brother’s G87 M2 in mostly stop and go traffic I saw no issue with its shifter. Typical BMW in my opinion.
