not really any.... other than sharing B58 and ZF8 - but even then they are in different guises and set-ups.

I think it's an M sport diff, and the axles are the monsters from the M5...

Besides the z4, I guess it would be the M2.

I think the “Concept 4” could be similar if it gets built, but I think it’s bigger, has a back seat, and the silhouette looks like a Mustang...OK, nevermind, just the Z4

In terms of performance it would be this car and the m2 competition, but they are not related mechanically... the Supra is a 4 series with some 5 series parts. It’s a really good mashup for the price.

Z4 and Supra are the closest for sharing the same chassis. but i guess you could compare the car specs and performance with the M2, m2 comp, m4, m235i in the realm of a coupe single turbo,rwd car. but none are chassis related. Supra shares some suspension parts with the 3 series also.

The B58 has been around for a few years, the ZF8 since like 2014 in BMWS. so nothing really new here for us in terms on the supra other than the outer shell.

Z4 and G20 3-series are the closest cars that share parts and generational design with the Supra. The M2/M2C are very much unrelated, being from a previous generation F-platform, and the M2C has running gear from the M4, also based on the previous F generation.

I bet the M2/M2C share some clips and fasteners with the Supra but I'd be surprised if there was much else in common. Owning both a G-generation and F-generation BMW, even those are very different aside from clips and fasteners. BMW went in many new directions with the G-series platforms.
