  1. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    Should be the whole car. All the private and press previews are completed which leaves only the official online press and in-person reveals to go. Monterrey isn’t a place to show off a camo’d car.

  2. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    Damn you’re faster with a reply than I can elaborate in an edit. I’ve seen the car and the patent filings, but couldn’t even begin to guess when someone will leak them. Oh come on now. I’ve given up more than my fair share over the years and one must have self-imposed limits. If I could...

  3. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    As far as? If you’re asking for images from the Toyota patents, that’s not something I would release.

  4. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    People want to party like it’s 1993 too. No blowoff valve one more time. Could always just do an N74 V12 swap (those do have them).

  5. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    It is/was utilized for Z4/Supra The Z4/Supra chassis/body are manufactured in Dingolfing and sent in Partial Knockdown kit form to Magna-Steyr in Graz for assembly. This is why the vin’s start with WZ1 (rules of content origin).

  6. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    BMW has been phasing out vacuum controlled wastegates and exhaust valves over the past 5 years. The few remaining models with them will be out of production before the end of year. There’s very little info on Gen 3 8HP at the moment as the cars equipped with them are just now beginning to come...

  7. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    Just like DCT gearboxes, the 8P and 8HP have different shift times between variants. Right now, the F90 M5 has what I refer to as a Gen 2.5 (Gen 2 HIS but with the new Central Intelligence Unit Processing Module), and is the only current 8HP variant that’s close to what will be in the Supra/Z4...

  8. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    ZF’s nomenclature has changed over the years with the modular 8 Speed Families and represents only the “generic” planetary model internal startup clutch/brake set B limit (510nm in this case). The 8_P51 covers the 400nm - 600nm range. The Torque Converters have their own certified ratings (the...

  9. 2020 Supra prototype at Goodwood Festival of Speed (photos/videos)

    Nope PDC Sensors. Toyota has petitioned NHTSA for an exemption from FMVSS 108 to permit Full AFS + ADB LED headlamps to be installed and fully functional for a few thousand cars. Front Fog Light function is incorporated into the headlamp by activating a specific foul weather beam pattern.

  10. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    It’s not the first and certainly not the last time. I stopped doing interviews for major publications 10 years ago but they still grab bits here and there. I’m fairly confident the lineup will start with: SZ - 4cyl B48B20 265hp SZ-R - 4cyl B48B20 265hp (possibly more) with “Track Package” as...

  11. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    It should sound like one. That’s a Type Code DB43 - SPX 40i (US Spec - 340ps BMW Supplied B58B30M1)

  12. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    This sounds more like the JLR Ingenium R6 that’s yet to be released.

  13. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    Maybe poke to see if it’s iron sleeved bores? That would be more in line with the S58 @ 490hp.

  14. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    N57 is for a few more months, but that’s still aluminum.

  15. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    Not that I know of. M57 went aluminum with the TĂś2 update, N57 is aluminum, B series are aluminum with both gas and diesel sharing the same block.

  16. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    Been gone for 12 years. Last M57’s were aluminum.

  17. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    That’s kinda what has me scratching my head. BMW hasn’t had an iron block since 2000ish and the engine plant (also in Steyr, Austria) isn’t setup to even make one. It’s tooled to make the modular B series engines, so if this is accurate: SZ - 4cyl SZ-R - 6cyl, 3070lbs RZ - 6 cyl 3350lbs I...

  18. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    An accidental GT86 MK2 entry or possibly an old reference not deleted. I truly believe from everything I’ve physically seen with my own eyes, the G/J29 mates evolved into different cars than what either company originally wanted to start with.

  19. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    So to expand more, here’s the G29 Z4 (ZF Transmission Technical Application Guide) The production dates go back to engineering freeze and the ones with no end date so far are the final production transmissions. With the J29, there are only 2 models listed (equivalent to the Z4 30i and RoW...
