I'd think it'd to be true as i4's are currently coming in with 8.5. However since the M design is different, can't tell for sure.

It is quite frustrating that it is hard to know what HW versions are in each of the products - how can we tell which HW version is in production now?

That's for M3. M4 gets a refresh in March of 2024. Non-laser headlights, different taillights, and iDrive 8.5 as it seems. To be honest, I can't find any difference in the shape of the headlights, but the taillights do look different.

I love 8.5 personally. Haven't found any faults with it.

I was under the impression that when BMW partnered with Toyota to share the assembly line at the Magna Steyr plant where they produce the Z4 and the Supra the deal was that BMW would make the ragtop and Toyota would make the hardtop and therefore they would avoid competing against each other.

This is an interesting quote from Motor Trend: “The shifter itself is a big step up from the same mechanical ZF unit found in the Toyota Supra. Indeed, BMW says the Z4 manual’s shift linkage is physically different than the Supra’s, and it sure feels that way. The shifts are crisper, more mechanical, less rubbery, more satisfying. You know what else? The Z4's transmission feels better than the M2's six-speed. Same for the row-your-own M3. Along with the other changes BMW implemented, the sporty factor has increased noticeably. As athletic as a Porsche Boxster? No, but name a competitor’s car that is. The 2024 BMW Z4 is in a much better place performance-wise than it was. That’s a good thing.” |

I would guess the current 6MT (same shifter/bushings, etc) that we have in the M2/M3/M4 will transfer verbatim into the 2025 models. Too bad they couldn't have done this manual trans engineering work BEFORE the G80/G82/G87 came to market.
