Congrats! The car is beautiful! I’m glad to hear you like the car so much after selling the F-Type. I was really interested in the F-Type until the Supra came out.

Nice and damn now you got me thinking so yes possible and thanks for sharing.
I had a 335i with the JB4 unit. If you have basic mechanical skills, then installation is pretty simple. Burger Tuning is active on a lot of forums and constantly rolling out updates to newer versions of their software. Nonetheless, I found the differences between stock to JB4 night and day.

One example. When I addeded the AR Design downpipe and Meisterschaft full exhaust, I was fish tailing from stop signs lol. I had to start being more gentle on the acceleration because the JB4 unit had increased the boost. It was smooth, but raw power.

BMW motors/cars are expensive, but the performance mods are fewer. Fewer mods that yield bigger power/torque numbers. I remember I had an old Acura Integra. Could spend thousands of dollars, and after a tune, probably get 20-30whp.
With a BMW, you can spend maybe $1500 and get 50-80whp with tune and some performance mods.

Got her tinted today and side marker lamps darkened out as well. She’s got 400 miles on her and averaging close to 30 mpg just awesome. And the attention on this car is unlike anything I have ever owned lol. Everywhere I go someone is wanting to either talk, take a picture, thumbs up drive by.

NONE. BOUGHT BACK - 2020 Absolute Zero 3.0 Premium
Welcome. I too wanted a Supra in the 80s; instead I got a MR2. Then I got a FRS and then a 86. Now I have a “big boy” car. :thumbsup:

Virginia laws are scary; be careful out there.

Reckless Driving Threshold: 80 mph, 20 mph over a 30-mph-or-higher limit, 60 mph in a 35-mph zone

Reckless Driving Mandatory Penalty: none; class 1 misdemeanor

Reckless Driving Maximum Penalty: 12 months imprisonment, $2500 fine, 6-month license suspension
You forgot the mandatory 1 day in jail for every mile per hour over 100...

Just curious. Did you get your car at Koons Tyson’s? I know they just got a red car in last week. Mine is due next week...

Yes and I actually asked for the launch edition which came in late July. I was in Florida at that time and told them to go ahead and sell her. And then this one cane in last week and they called me right when she came off the truck, I was so busy with work I told them I’ll get there when I can but understand if she sells. On Saturday I drive by the dealership and was amazed she was there. A lot of lookers and thinkers but no takers besides me which I’m super excited I got her. And what color is yours coming in?

Congrats. Mine is white. Interesting that they didn’t have a buyer lined up for your car.

Actually their is a story for the LE which I was told back in May I probably would not be offered the car since the higher ups may allocate it to friends and or family. But actually a person put a deposit on her and then behind the scenes tried to sell her on EBAy for a huge markup prior to taking delivery. The person would never come and get the car when she came in and the dealer had to get Toyota involved to force the owner to walk away from his deal. Since he never took ownership and was playing a game to sell her first to someone else then actually buy it was apparently grounds for loss of right to,buy her. So that’s when they called me in Florida when I was on a 2 week vacation and knew it wasn’t fair to have them hold it till I got back. I love the Supra and for me I didn’t have to have the LE to be happier.
