Sorry for the dumb question but where did you add it?

Manual transmission lovers had never considered that model. Are you fairly certain that M4 will retain 6MT for MY2025?

I never addressed this one way or the other.

Can you figure out which month comes first, January or March?

Tell them to hold your order until February when they'll be able to resubmit it for an actual LCI, if you're so keen on that.

All of the reviewers of the G87 M2 seem to say that the car was made for the automatic transmission and not the manual.

Indeed you haven't. And I must say that I and I am sure everybody on this forum greatly appreciate what you're doing for the community by providing the information on the new models. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. Interesting that the CS will be based on the LCI which I’m guessing will take place at the same time as the 2 series LCI in 4/25. Also, surprising how much later the car will be released given the spy cars have been around for some time already.

My silence on the subject should've been a hint.

That begs the question. Did we ever hear if there will be an M2 CSL yet? Given the CS production ends in 2026 and the M2 production ends in 2029, I’m sure there will be another special model to fill the gap and be a last hurrah?…

As you can see with the example of M2 CS, the first details become available to me approximately two years before a model goes into production. For longer term predictions, you'll need to check other sources.

Any hint at all about a Z4 Coupe?

Would be pretty redundant with the 2 series. Wouldn’t think there’s market share for both.

Can now confirm - 6MT is still there.

Amazing news! Thank you!!!

As 3/2024 draws closer do you have any insight on an announcement date for manual transmission for US Z4 M40i other than “any day now”? Any news on if it will be packaged with other options or if it will be a stand alone option?

I think the 2024 M4 already has the latest interior updates, such as the curved screen and iDrive 8, tons of leather colors. All, except glass knobs, perhaps, which look subjectively cool. Otherwise, what other updates did you refer to?
