Yep, it was also provided within the BMW BLOG link that I provided. It just was not itemized. Last edited by SCA; 01-31-2024 at 10:03 PM. |

My one comment, which you will all hate me for?
The six speed transmission in the 718 is really really good. 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.

BMW Z4 M40i Gets the Same Six-Speed Manual From Toyota Supra: https://www.bmwblog.com/2024/01/30/b...-toyota-supra/ 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. |

As for lemming's question, I think BMW designs their MT like this on purpose since they seem to always be the same |

When we drove the six-speed manual Z4 M40i, we thought it was fantastic – a great balance of quickness and precision. Although it sometimes resembles a Porsche shifter more than a traditional BMW shifter in feel, it still offers a long third gear that provides plenty of headroom and allows you to build speed at a remarkable pace. Elsewhere on the web, you can see familiar praise for the manual Supra GR’s shifter – precise, narrow gates and an intuitive throw.
Make what you will of the above from the BMW Blog article. |

From C&D:
"It's the same transmission found in the Toyota GR Supra, but each has uniquely tuned linkages and bushings." https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4...d%20Last%2030D |
