2025 BMW Z4 6-Speed Manual - Living With The Handschalter Roadster

BMW got it so right with this new stick shift Z4. It was an absolute treat to live with, and I hope you get a glimpse of that through this driving video.

Someone get that lady some prescription sunglasses. They'll change your life.

[@TopherDrives]

she has some! haha. just forgot them

[@DoctuhJ]

Extremely excited to pick up one of these in 10-15 years!

[@DoctuhJ]

Commented before I finished watching but it was really cute of you to go get pizza with your best friend :)

[@TopherDrives]

you and me both!

@@TopherDrives maybe they'll finish construction on the Michigan highways by then 💪🏻

[@slocarfr]

nah like 2 years. bmw depreciates like 50% in 2 years

[@pt008]

They've only been making like 2000 Z4s per year lately; not sure how many sticks will be made in 2025 (or if any will be in the final 2026 model year) so the used ones may be hard to find. That's why I've ordered one, first new car I'll be buying in 20 years. Yeah, it will depreciate a bit but it will definitely be collectible eventually as the (likely) last convertible manual BMW ever made.

[@vitreoushumor]

$75k with interior rattles. Meanwhile an ND miata is silent inside. Crazy

[@onurdmetu]

Not many things to rattle in those cars tho.. I still remember the first time i saw the sun visor in the ND :D

[@Rick2010100]

Where is the problem? Report it to the BMW dealer and they have to fix it under warranty. The problem is just a question of adjusting the convertible top.

[@eiros59]

😂 Miata

[@S44BBOI]

looks like a mazda inside also

[@YookGears]

Miata rattles like crazy and super loud inside lol

[@Love2Cruise]

Great review. Couple minor corrections: 1) B58 has a single turbo. 2) Frozen paint is still an extra cost option with the Handschalter package. Metallic paint is included with it.

[@TopherDrives]

Thank you! & ugh, I know. Meant to say twin*power* turbo. I'm usually the one to correct people that say twin turbo too😭

[@Love2Cruise]

@@TopherDrives YW! Saving this vid to increase the future value of mine. 🤣

[@tikijojo]

Twin Scroll turbo. The B58 is legendary.

[@firefoxchris9452]

Great video showing features and daily use, enjoyed it 👍

[@vondec3658]

What a beautiful color on that z4

[@beanmachine3112]

Holy fuck this car sounds good. I have a manual supra and wish I could hear it this well but the car is actually really quiet and well insulated. And you can't open the windows 😑

[@TheHDTheater]

Fellow MT Supra owner. Get the AMS wind deflectors man! Got my 3 days after picking up mine. You are missing out on cruising with your windows down 😅

[@slocarfr]

speaking of M roadster, that should be yalls next roadtrip car

we'd have to bring many pillows!

Beautiful car but the rattles are unacceptable in something that expensive

How many 2025 models have you driven?

This interior is much nicer than the new one.

I’m really working hard to get this or a M340i

[@MizushimaNaomiz]

Amazing that they brought the 6-Speed Manual back! Also, wasn't the S58 the one with 2 turbos and the B58 a Single turbo?

[@forkbombfpv]

correct, this car has a twin scroll turbo. not twin turbo

Let her drive and have some fun

[@naiart82]

Love the Z4 ❤

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

I was on my IPad connected to a HomePod, looking around the room for that rattle😂🤣😂 I just knew it was the AC. I really want this car but…wow. Thats something.

[@gettcouped]

really is a beautiful car. I think both cars on this platform are really stunners. Shame they can’t fix that rattle, but this is a beaut.

[@Ok_Mountain_8698]

The manual is definitely the way to go on this one

[@SilentRoadStudio]

The BMW Z8 Roadster deserves a moden upgrade before they make thier new designs for 2025-2026+

Can we get a fleet update video again please much love from Switzerland

[@TopherDrives]

yes I need to do it soon!

[@4WHEELBIKER]

Rattles ? All that money and rattles ! My ’06 Z4 3.0 was rock solid. No rattles with the top up or down.

[@Ok_Mountain_8698]

This car is basically an old mans Supra

Ummm what Supra comes in a convertible?

GR Supra or '24 Mustang GT w/ Performance pack?

[@TopherDrives]

still haven’t driven an S650 GT PP. Only an automatic Dark Horse. Will update when Ford sends us a proper mustang

[@ant_salvy]

Would you recommend tracking this or new M2?

[@ElitistIntellectual]

M2 way faster and isn’t convertible are you fr

[@ARentz07]

The Z4 is a car I kinda want. But those rattles are a huge bummer.

[@hihellohahaha2029]

honestly every convertible rattles, just a matter of time. my Z4 does not rattle, yet. who know when it will but with the top down, I dont mind

[@tomassosa3255]

You said something wrong about de engine, that it has 2 turbos, while the b58 has a unique turbo. You probably confused that it’s a twinscroll turbo

[@TopherDrives]

eh yeah. twin power turbo as bmw says. but you’re right. twin scroll single turbo. I’m aware of this fact but misspoke

[@sharlesleglerc]

B58, rwd, manual, convertible yet no power slide at the left turn stop light. 😔

[@stevenhernandez2108]

I just test drove this car and had 0 rattles

[@gbrianjohnson]

Get that lady of yours a hat and sunglasses.

[@rogercvc6768]

BMW manuals are so enjoyable.

[@bUtMyRiGhTs]

I don't know if it's your camera angle or what but those tires don't look like they are the right size for those wheels. The tires look like they are too small.

Nice Mk5 Supra

That's a weird looking Supra 🤔

[@emmereffing]

[@Bonk996]

nice supra

[@VAVS100]

The Toyota Supra should learn a lesson from that BMW interior, which is way better than all the Supra interior choices.

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

I think that along with late manual drive and no convertible are par for the course when you’re trying to separate Toyota and BMW.

[@lukewalker1051]

I believe BMW plans to kill the Z4, 2026 as last year. Emily is lovely.

[@jspera4187]

Single.. DUAL SCROLL turbo... not twin turbo.. just sayin. (edit) Mine is getting delivered in a few months. If it develops that squeaky rattle I will lose my mind. I love all the Supra comments... Try to find a Toyota logo anywhere in a Z4.. Okay now try the same in the Supra... Open the hood, go ahead I'll wait... yep, BMW logos LoL.

[@seb5945]

Z4s are made in Austria still. Even this is that rattley, imagine the 2 and 3 series that are built in Mexico.

[@KLiNoTweet]

In my opinion a car that is somewhat invisible. Maybe generic? The Supra is not.

[@Barbwire710]

That would be a plus for me. The Z4 is the conservative twin. The Supra may not be generic, but that’s what makes it ugly.

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

@@Barbwire710agreed. It’s what it’s supposed to be and I like it. I see every Supra that pulls out. That’s nice. It’s a hot cheerleader. The BMW is the nerdy cousin no one notices is just as hot, secretly rides better, is more impressive with the top down and has far less partners🤣😂🤣

[@flybobbie1449]

Red calipers look naff, out of place.

[@Str8representing]

BMW getting uglier with every new model. There's nothing pretty, no harmony, no coherence. Like different people designed each element in isolation.
