I've had excellent luck getting maintenance parts for my VW GTI from ecstuning. Looks like they have everything you'd need for a GR Supra Oil change as well. Including the filter on its own if you prefer:

Thanks so much for the lengthy response! I've yet to drive the M2C with a manual. Still rather curious what I'll think of that transmission. Sometimes it feels like the Miatas and S2000s I've driven have spoiled me in that regard.
Care to share any of your thoughts on the M2C versus the Supra based on your firsthand experience? I'm cross shopping them at the moment. My choice will be my daily driver, year round, and on some increasingly bad roads. I've only had the opportunity to drive the M2C thus far. While firm I found...
I swung by a local dealer and checked out a couple of Absolute Zero Supras they had outside on the lot. This was my first time seeing the color on this in car in natural light. I was impressed. This color really suits the lines of this car extremely well. It has so much metallic in it that it...
I’ve had excellent luck thus far with the heat shield brand on all of my cars. Looks like they have one for the GR Supra too:

The GR Supra is still high on my list of potential next vehicles. Yet without even owning one I already have coworkers criticizing it whenever I bring it up. These same people also like to point out that they spend their free time and money on "more important things" (they have children and also...
Finally got a chance to see this color in person. Definitely my favorite color on this car so far. Much more dynamic in the sun than the red next to it.
Also of note is the fact that the car wasn’t even particularly clean in this shot. Yet it still looked really good.
This might sound like a silly question, but how are you finding the driving engagement of the GR Supra compared to your ND RF?
I had a '17 RF in red. Really liked that car, but it was too down on power for my tastes at Denver altitude.
I've driven the following:
S2000 (2000, 2001)
Miata ('99, 2012, 2013, 2017)
718 Cayman (2018)
M2 (2017, 2019 comp)
As a daily driver I liked the M2 Competition the most. Relatively quiet and still a blast to drive. I'd say I liked the Cayman the least. Really looking forward to driving the GR...
Today I got to see a 2020 Supra for the first time and even sit in it.
Decided to swing by a local Toyota dealer that had 4 of them listed as in stock. They had a red one on the showroom floor. A parts employee happened to be working on a Sunday and noticed me looking through the windows. He...
I really do hope they add a manual option/version for the Supra. Does it need it? Impossible to tell until I drive one, and that assessment would be mostly subjective. For instance: I wouldn't want my Miata without a manual, but mostly don't miss it in my VW GTI with DSG.
I recall reading conflicting reports on the pre-production (still in camou) drives. Some said it didn't have fake sound, others said it did just like all the BMWs these days. If I had to bet I think it will have BMWs "active sound design". Though like all recent BMWs it will likely be easy to...
For me a lack of grip when you want it is part of what I found so fun about it for street use. I could see that getting annoying on the track though. However, I don't race any of my cars. So I can remain blissfully unaware :P
The M2C is such a fantastic car. So engaging to drive. Which I find really impressive given its weight. BMW did a great job tuning the suspension/chassis. The S55 is a great powerplant too. My only complaint would be its sound. Which definitely isn't as good as the N55, but it isn't bad by any...
Agreed. I really like it in white, but it's hard to not love the red more in this photo. Probably has something to do with almost all of my past sports cars being red :)
Thanks! I should have just asked which BMW color this aligns with since, well, it's a BMW color after all. Mineral white does indeed share some characteristics with Hockenheim Silver. So that's exciting!
These pictures almost make the color look like Hockenheim Silver from the M2 Competition. I'm sure it isn't anywhere near as silver as that color, but with enough metallic flakes it could be a little similar. Will be really interesting to see it in person and see how dynamic of a white it is.
Hi folks,
Been lurking for months while news of the MKV Supra develops. Finally decided to join yesterday. Been on the hunt for a new sports car since selling my '17 MX-5 RF last October. Test drove a 718 Cayman base PDK (didn't like it at all), a M2 Competition DCT (loved it), and a used OG M2...
