It ain't gonna be anywhere near TBH. The gearbox in the Type R (FK8 at least) was an engineering masterpiece.

I have two manual BMs, both are 2 litre petrol engines (one an N20 and a B48), both 2016 models, both 25k ish miles so you would expect them to have identical gearboxes. Yet I find the one in the Z4 much more precise and nicer than my F31. Must be something to do with layouts and linkages in different 'platforms'.
