BMW actually do build a Z4 with a manual, just in the 2.0 version. In the recent past they have paired the B58 with a manual in cars like the M240i as well. So there are no technical reasons either BMW or Toyota could not offer a manual with their 3.0 B58s if they so chose. The fact they don’t means they don’t think it is worth it for the limited uptake.
