I’m used to mini’s and bmw (1 series) manual, my mom have a manual CX30, mazda gearbox is really nice but a bit too “stiff” How do you compare bmw manuals to mx5 and porsche cayman manuals?
Nice POV mate. 👍 think I’d go manual as well… simply because you can. You won’t have that option for much longer so fair play to BMW for giving us the choice.
Nice review mate. Interesting that the gearbox is a bit rubbery, can't say I am surprised. The old DCT gearbox was compromised but the GTS flash fixed that and made it awesome. I wonder if tuners will make a ZF flash to make the gearbox more aggressive... Would be needed with the M3/ 4s out there being tuned to 700+HP... Gearbox wont keep up!
Thanks mate! That will be interesting and I’m sure it already exists now from the g80/82 platforms. That Milltek tuned M4 I drove, exactly like you say, gearbox couldn’t keep up!
@@MrHCars I have a 2023 Supra A91 6MT and went through this dilema recently. Manual is so rowdy and so much fun to drive even though I'm a bit slower technically than the zf8. You only live once. Enjoy what you drive.
Regarding your comment on the M240i being better value than the M2, it's safe to say the only reason to get the more expensive car is for the manual transmission. Had the M240i been RWD and offered with a manual, most customers would opt for that instead. A manual Mk5 Supra would be more fun (not to mention less expensive) but it lacks useable rear seats and has a smaller boot than the 2-series range.
That’s a very good point! Forgotten that the 240 doesn’t come as a manual. And sadly the Z4 M40i is ZF only too… but if the supra manual now exists, we can keep our fingers crossed on the z4
