Then don't do anything that risk warranty claims to be denied lol. "Pay to play" takes on a new meaning with German manufacturers

I'm not even talking about warranties. Accidently chipping and cracking the headlight is almost 2k for one light is crazy.

well the headlights are leds so they are going to be expensive no matter what. Even the Lexus led headlights are expensive too.

Just PPF your headlights. Not saying that will stop it but could be a cheap deterrent for a $2k part.

Yeah, I still have my '09 335i, which I love. As was mentioned earlier, I actually viewed the BMW collaboration as a positive, since I knew what I was getting into. Relearning what chimes and bings meant what and how to use the infotainment sounded annoying, so big plus to just keep it in the family. The M2/M240 are the direct competitors but I like the look of the Supra a lot more. Plus good luck getting either of those for thousands off MSRP!

Also as part of the equation is BMW only comes in a rag top I think....Appears tho MSRP is more around $63K

I just don't see how these two cars to even comparable. The Z4 isn't even an enthusiast vehicle anymore unlike the M coupe or Z4 M and is instead more like a Boxster or Mercedes SLC. Even if a die hard BMW owner bought a Supra I wouldn't consider it jumping ship since BMW makes nothing like the A90 that isn't a roided-out commuter car.

I love my BMW Supra...

The BMW aspect of the mkIV is what this BMW owner finds attractive.

Porsche Boxster is sportier then just about anything toyota or bmw offers..

I’ve driven a 2016 981 S with the Na motor and that thing makes just about everyone at Toyota feel like a boat, even the new Supra because I own one. I’ve also driven a 2015 m4 and while that car is very good and a more potent motor, it lacks the direct response and mid engine feel of the Boxster. I picked the Supra because It was the best sports car bmw makes....and I can’t comfortable afford a decent spec cayman/Boxster. While it’s not quite the power of my buddies m4 at higher rpm but it feels a bit more nimble on its feet. A perfect compromise for my pockets.

I went from 2015 M4, 2017 911, 2019 M2 Comp, to 2020 Supra and feel like I hit the lottery with this car. Absolutely love it!
