"6-speed transmission with short gearshift travel featured as standard.

All variants of the new BMW Z4 come as standard with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Developed specifically for BMW’s new Roadster, the various transmission options are particularly sporting in their character. Indeed, this is borne out in particular by extremely short gearshift travel much shorter than on all other current BMW models with a manual gearshift."
Woah nice find!! BMW never makes big claims, so for them to say something like that must mean its going to be a phenomenal shifter. I cant wait to see/use it!
