More engaging, driver-focused Z4 set for the UK in 2024<\/h2>\n

BMW has finally announced its Z4 sports car will be available with a manual gearbox, nearly a year after a three pedal set-up was added to its Toyota Supra sister car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The current, G29-generation BMW Z4 has only been offered with an eight-speed automatic since it launched back in 2019, but the German brand has confirmed it will offer the option of a six-speed manual on the range-topping 335bhp M40i from early 2024. However, BMW hasn\u2019t said if it will also offer the same transmission on the entry-level sDrive20i.\u00a0<\/p>\n
