We\u2019ve already learned it will be sold in select European countries \u2013 including in Germany \u2013 but now we find out Australia will sadly miss out on the enthusiast-focused variant.<\/p>\n<p>Contacted by <em>CarExpert<\/em>, a spokesperson for BMW Australia said there are \u201cno plans at this stage\u201d to sell a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/12\/13\/bmw-z4-m40i-manual-gearbox-europe\/\">Z4 M40i with the six-speed manual transmission<\/a>. The \u201cat this stage\u201d part of the statement does leave the door open for the automaker\u2019s regional branch to have a change of heart at some point in the future. However, the timeframe is already limited since reports state production of the G29 convertible will end in early 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-465538\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-07.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the only way you can row your own gears in a BMW model Down Under is by getting the M2, or the base version of the M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe. On the flip side, BMW Australia has an exciting product Americans can\u2019t get \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/12\/08\/bmw-m3-touring-aventurine-red-video\/\">M3 Touring<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This generation of the Z4 used to have a manual transmission in Australia available for the sDrive20i with the smaller four-cylinder engine. However, it was dropped in 2021 because no one bought it. We mean that almost literally since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/07\/20\/the-dead-bmw-z4-manual-in-australia-makes-me-sad\/\">only two customers<\/a> purchased a Z4 with a DIY gearbox in the country. Given the extremely low take rate, we wouldn&#8217;t necessarily count on the M Performance version getting the 6MT in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Although purists would argue that a manual makes the driving experience more thrilling and direct, the truth of the matter is shifting gears is a lost art. Demand has greatly declined in recent years, so much so that BMW doesn\u2019t even bother selling the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/12\/09\/bmw-m2-frozen-portimao-blue-video\/\">M2 G87<\/a> with a manual in some markets. Take for example Brazil and South Korea where the sports coupe comes exclusively in Steptronic flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carexpert.com.au\/car-news\/bmw-australia-says-no-to-manual-roadster\"  rel=\"noopener\">CarExpert<\/a><\/p>\n<p>First published by https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2025-bmw-z4-m40i-manual-six-speed-09-830x553.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p>BMW has engineered the Z4 M40i with a stick shift primarily with the US market in mind, but the three-pedal roadster is coming to additional markets.
