Absolutely not computer based rev-matching works the best, manually its not possible to rev match the way car does it.

It is possible, and it is very rewarding to get it exactly right (speaking from experience rev-matching my 2014 M235i for 10+ years).

Whatever you choose to do its your car, i let computer rev match it for me and does not in any way reduce my interest in driving a manual car , coming back to my question does anyone know can you turn on/ off rev matching in all modes, Comfort, Sports, Sports +

And also a lot more fun in general in my opinion of course. Heck i even rev match downshift in my lowly kia soul which actually has a great clutch and shifter but then I have never owned any cars which were known for great shifting anyway. I thought the clutch and shifter in my 440I xdrive was also very good. So I am sure i will love the Z4 shift and clutch as well.

IMO computer rev matching is perfectly fine, I enjoy it on my M4. Because of the throttle hang in modern cars, it's really not that enjoyable to manually rev match any more for me. Now, in my Z4 M, entirely different story.

Can I get my question answered? Is rev matching available on all modes in Z4 M40i ? Anyone can confirm that, OP who toolk delivery of the car is absconding lol

Yes, all modes. You won't ever have to heel and toe, not to worry.

Awesome news how do you like the clutch ? Is it very light?

Rev matching is something I'm personally very excited about on the new Z4. Rev matching myself on my old Z4 M worked great when I was wearing drivers, and you definitely felt one with the car doing it, but with my size 15 feet it was completely footwear dependent and not the best when in boots, dress shoes, etc. instead of drivers. Plenty of less than stellar Rev matches for me when not in optimal footwear.

Fingers crossed my car gets on a boat on the 27th, as then it should be here in about a month. Can't wait to have a Z4 again.

Where are the 6mt owner reviews already?!

[blue135]

Patience. I suspect that less than 5 have been delivered at this point (no substantiation for that opinion). IK suspect that the next 30-45 days will see a rush of deliveries. I know my order is the first manual for my dealer and it is still awaiting transport to Bremerhaven (for a week now).

[tracer bullet]

Yeah, Minneapolis / St. Paul metro I'm pretty sure I'm the first order, and it hasn't even shipped. First for my dealer and it beat the other one for the allocation. I know MN isn't a hotbed of convertible sales but I'm just agreeing that not many have made it over yet.

Will be interesting to see the reviews from the mags / youtube sites. Wonder if they're "allowed" to do so yet even if they could. Then again, once you buy a car, you should probably stop reading or watching reviews and just tell yourself it's the best car in the world and you did the right thing.

Clutch is fine, not overly light, it is pretty linear.

You will be fine with it I bet.

Got a chance today for another good drive.

Starting to appreciate the car for what it is, a comfortable+sporty GT/Roadster.

The car feels best to me in Sport+ with DSC fully deactivated. In this config it handles more naturally and rotates freely. I suspect DSC is too intrusive.

Ofcourse this comes with some inherent risk so need to be measured with throttle and not for everyone/all occasions especially with street driving.

There are only two modes for the suspension: comfort and sport.

There is a big difference between the two as advertised. Comfort is too soft and almost floaty, and find it squats/dives under acceleration+braking.

Sport is better and should be default imo, with an even stiffer setting for Sport+.

Still wish suspension was a tad stiffer for my liking but overall it's a fun car in its stock form.

Thanks for the reviews, have you driven a manual 718 Cayman/ Boxster and if so how would you compare with it?

I'm curious if you've driven other BMW manuals? Does the special stuff they did to this one add up to anything meaningful?
