BMW doesn't offer the newest M4 with a manual here - but it does in Germany. We headed over to the firm's homeland to sample this forbidden fruit
Having six gears and an extra pedal to tend to adds a lot of the engagement back in, both at lower speeds and when you find a good road to explore the engine’s rev range and the chassis’s balance.
You’re far more aware of what the engine is doing, you think about which gear to approach a corner in, and you can perfect your heel-and-toe technique . And while the gearchange isn’t the sweetest in the world, it’s satisfying enough., where you end up just leaving it in one gear because the ratios are so long.
Do you miss the 30bhp that the non-Competition version loses compared with the one we get over here? Of course not. It’s still ballistically fast, and actually feels more intense because you’re more involved. To my ears, the engine also sounds a little more natural – slightly gravelly and a far cry from naturally aspirated M3s of old, but free-revving and exciting.
The next generation will almost certainly be hybrid and auto only. So if you are in the UK and enjoy some DIY gearchanging, even just slightly, I’d say go and lobby your BMW dealer to bring the six-speed over here, before it’s too late.
