After reading the posts you've made, it honestly seems like you're the one with the biggest issues trying to prove somehow your otherwise inferior complex. You've been stirring the MKIV vs MKV pot for some time now. Sure seems like you are trying to compensate for something. Carry on ..Be careful using big words in your posts bud, you might trip over yourself. Must be all that MKIV testosterone that is giving you a superiority complex. Enjoy it while it lasts....
I canāt get the permalink to copy correctly from my phone but if you follow this link to another older thread on the forums youāll see pictures of an MKV or Z4 prototype with a manual transmission.Really?Do you have any photos to share?
Haha....ok I will carry on, āSupra Turbo.āAfter reading the posts you've made, it honestly seems like you're the one with the biggest issues trying to prove somehow your otherwise inferior complex.

And it was a photo leaked much earlier in the development cycle so itās quite old news now.It was a z4 with a manual, no supra
Bet you will.. bet you will..Haha....ok I will carry on, āSupra Turbo.ā
Thank you for that video, and all 8 of your posts on this forum. Thank you! Happy New Year!Bet you will.. bet you will..
Anyways, I'll just leave this here for shits and giggles:
Haha...ok you're welcome, "PerformanceSound."Thank you for that video, and all 8 of your posts on this forum. Thank you! Happy New Year!
Who said it was a preexisting platform?
Awww... You MKV cheerleaders are cute and all with your straw man justifications and circular back-patting. Echoooooo, echoooo, echoo...
From my purview, there's a rather clear and unfortunate bifurcation among the 'enthusiasts' and that extends far beyond this forum. In essence, those that desperately wanted the MKV to be another world-beater, a 2nd coming, an honest attempt by Toyota to dethrone the current Japanese crown-wearer --and were willing to pay for it-- or nothing. And those that are simply happy to eat up anyone's scraps as long as it's called "Supra", hoping there's a base model variant cheap enough they can afford, so they be 'part of the club', too. Seems the vast majority of current/prior MKIV owners and deep-rooted Supra enthusiasts (among other crowds) tend to fall into the former. The magazine racing, Cars & Coffee crowd and/or BMW fans perhaps more the latter... "Bro, I leased a 335i, it has turbos, bro -- I'm a car guy now.. Have you seen the new Supra!? Maybe I'll get one as a loaner when my valves need to be walnut blasted.."
Pandering to the SC crowd now, yeah..? This is the same tired, half-truth argument SC guys have been parroting since the SC became dirt cheap some years ago. "It's basically a Supra too" and other cries for validation.
LOL
No, no it's not.. "Platform" is rather nebulous. They shared some subframe, suspension components and mounting points. Just because you can NA-T and can share suspension and drivetrain parts does not make it any more "Supra". They are vastly more dissimilar than anything, and anyone that's actually turned wrenches on both can tell you that. Even so, even if they were essentially the same car Lexus = Toyota..! I recognize that may be a surprise to some of the lesser-read, nuevo-car-guys here. Attempting to draw parallels between Lexus SC/Toyota Supra and Toyota re-branding a BMW parts bin car is as laughable as comparing a 2020 MY anything to a 1993. Few, myself included, have any issue with the MKV leveraging a pre-existing platform -- provided it's a Toyota!
Now back to your regularly scheduled omphaloskepsis.
^^ This. The MKV and Z4 were developed at the same time from scratch. There was no pre-existing platform that BMW just gave them off the shelf. Several random suspension and boring electrical parts from the bin yes. An entire inline-six turbo engine architecture as a starting point yes.Who said it was a preexisting platform?
