A better driver's car, he said, with better control and handling. He didn't say it was faster or more potent. I believe him

I previously owned a 2006 M3 and 2010 Z4, both with the DCT. Currently have a 40Mi and believe that the ZF8 performs as well as, if not better than the DCT. Operationally they are identical, you can let them shift on their own in the various driving modes or you can take over shifting using shift lever or paddles.

What do you mean by this? My Boxster has two trunks, my M roadster had one. My Boxster has a lot of tech, my M Roadster had none. Both are fantastic driver's cars but the Porsche definitely doesn't lack luxury or utility comparably. Now X3 definitely adds utility over the Boxster so I'll give you that, but so would a Macan.

I am truly amazed by people that come into the Z4 forum to "trash" the Z4. Really? What is the goal? What is the pleasure received? I can't imagine going into someone's forum to bash their cars.

Agree. And the subtext of those posts is cringe worthy. Honest criticism is always desired though.

I kind of want BMW to just cancel all the manuals just to see the amount of whining it would cause. it's going to happen eventually. I'm sure all those m5 drivers out there probably consider their car an m car |

It's front page news which brings out all trolls from underneath all bridges to primarily debate which transmission sucks more.

Very disingenuous headline here.
He essentially said the Z4 is more capable at the limits. But otherwise it’s refined to the point of being boring such as in normal day-to-day driving. M2 is legitimately fun at ANY speed. But like many reviews have said its tail happy. |

Hardly. Do you guys actually go to BMW club and track events and talk to people? The manual transmission hasn't become some rare thing amongst enthusiasts at events.
