Given the small sales number of the Z4 to begin with going through the certification process for a MT version for the U.S. seems pointless.
Then BMW should seriously consider incorporating a 6MT option into the larger engine versions of the Z4. Enthusiasts like myself (and there are many of us) would be ecstatic. Currently, manual transmission roadster buyers have only two choices: the Mazda Miata and the Porsche Boxster.
I actually really liked the car and if $$ was a consideration I'd take the Z4 40i with 6MT over even the Boxster 718 4.0L. No contest I prefer the B58 over the 718 4 cylinder laggy lawn mower though if transmission choice were equal in such a comparison.
