See, I don't agree with that. The manual in the 86, which is a Toyota unit derived from Aisin, isn't any better than the manual in the M2 Competition. I don't know whether they have the option to use the M2C's 6MT box for the Supra, but it's at least as good as what Toyota is giving us in the 86.Toyota is still not satisfied with the manual options they have been presented with. Unlike BMW, Toyota won't just put whatever is in the parts bin just so a manual is available. I can almost guarantee you that if a "run of the mill" BMW transmission is used on the A90, that anyone running a down-pipe and tune will quickly make mush of the gears. I'm sure their rigorous tests have proven this
I remember hearing "none of BMW's manuals are good enough" and "Tada saying people who want a manual should go buy an 86" together in the same post, and it's so contradictory it makes me think there is some BS here.
BMW does offer some mediocre manuals, but they also have some good ones that would be fantastic in a Supra.
