It is their "Handschalter Pack" specifically so perhaps this is just one configuration and there will still be other options... fingers crossed. I very much prefer a standard paint w/ clear coat. All earlier reports say the manual is + $3500 USD and this pack is around double, so perhaps I'll remind myself once more that the configurators are still early and not 100% all there yet. |

I’m sure Ind can make us color matched vents.

I might be talking to myself but if others wonder, per their launch page:
* For the first time ever, the BMW Z4 M40i is available with a 6-speed manual transmission. * Package also includes unique suspension tuning, wheels, paint colors, and interior trims. * The 382-hp “Handschalter” accelerates from 0-60 in only 4.2 seconds. * Package price: $3,500. * Worldwide launch to commence in March 2024. and Included in the price of the package is the customer’s choice of metallic paints including San Remo Green metallic, which is offered only on the manual version. Also available exclusively on the manual-equipped Z4 M40i is BMW Individual Frozen Deep Green metallic, offered at a special package price. So the configurators are showing the frozen package, but it's not the only package. |

Do we expect the USA configuration tool to go live today?

The initial compilation of thoughts & small grouping from the slooow rollout/updates to some of the configurators makes me much happier about the pricing. For whatever reason, I was assuming it’d be a flat $3.5k ‘MT tax’, didn’t even figure the various bits, (Vernasca, Shadowline, Paint), being included in the MT package costs. Very happy indeed. Come on US Config, I wanna play!

"M-specific components for the gear set and shafts"
I'm curious what's M-specific about it, considering these are the same ratios as when the GS6-45BZ came out 15 years ago. As far as I know they've never made any changes to the gearsets, though I know they've messed with the synchros, clutch, and bellhousing. Perhaps "M-specific" means Toyota messed with them, and BMW kept it the same? I would be surprised if it was the other way around. Also curious if this'll be labeled "GS6-45BZ" like previous manual B58's, or "GS6L50TZ" like the Supra. That might give us a hint as to what M-specific means.

Looks really nice. One of the few remaining cars BMW hasn't screwed up yet.

I have my name down for one of these as well but I am genuinely curious as to how different the shift feel will be from my MT Supra, which is a good bit better than the current suite of g8x manuals I've driven. Not who had the bright idea of removing the door cards/ center console for the M specific cognac interior. Hopefully that is not a requirement to choose that interior when spec'ing the manual, as the default one is much better, even my Supra has one door card and the center console color matched to the seats. It is a shame they are still keeping this an M lite, if this were closer to a Z4M ( s58 would have been nice but even an uprated b58- say 450-475 rated), + options like full merino, the better brakes and chassis tuning it would be a no brainer, but currently it definitely makes me wonder if it is worth the swap from an A91MT supra to this over something like a g87 when convertible or not is not a deal breaker for me.

I'm actually not huge on convertibles, although I think it'll be fun to experience it's not what I am after. I want an inline 6, manual, rear wheel drive car and there aren't many other options. Considered the Supra quite a bit and decided I was a bit more of a Z4 guy. But if I owned a Supra, and liked it, moving to a Z4 would be a lateral move and not worth the cost. |
