one of the magazine articles said there will only be 1500 Launch Editions worldwide, so it's definitely a bit confusing and very limited to say the least... maybe they're filling the remaining orders will other trims?

looks like it's the base model 6 that weighs under 3300... apologies. I had heard that was the fully loaded, but I guess that was asking too much. At least the 4cyl car will weigh less than that. And yes, BMW engines routinely dyno their rated crank numbers at the wheels, so I'd fully expect...

It's right around there and is what folks crave :D

Haha, I was actually picturing Guff trying to curate them and remove the nonsense... 3 sounds about right.

Yes, 7 to 10mm active adjustment. It's a throwback of sorts to TEMS.

Along those lines, yep.

:coffee:

The other brands have been making model after model for years which cuts costs and R&D significantly. As such they also sell far more which also contributes to lowering costs (economy of scale). And that's just a few aspects of the equation; there is plenty more to factor in. So, if we...

Not that I'm aware of; it's dealer allocation (so if you got a reservation placed locally you may get one). No official pre-order or anything like that however, at least to my knowledge.

The two I'm aware of are fairly simple but they're developing more. This is the debut car for GR and they're not going to let that slip past. The other two are chassis related. Also, several tuning shops are working on parts and rumor has it that TOM's has their own car already (for parts...

Japan, USA, and Canada are confirmed afaik. I think you will get them in other areas as well because Gazoo vs regular Toyota. Have to wait and see though.

There will be factory items available for tuning through Gazoo and possibly Technocraft, and these parts are always covered under warranty. I know of 4 parts that will available for the car on release and 2 are related to engine performance.

Very possible and sounds like something they might already be discussing honestly.

Tada's friend said there was a specific reason for it relating to reliability iirc, but this was a long time ago when I asked about it being 340ps (my actual question was why not more).

lol....

As others have said, BMW underrates their engines, so I'll write this in caps for folks: THIS CAR WILL LIKELY DYNO AT ~3-330WHP So, it's more like a Toyota rating of 370hp at the crank. So dont freak out about the output lol.

It's great pricing. People always forget the tunability.

Well, it's nice to see they met the original 55k target Tada gave me for the fully loaded I6 car. I'd heard as high as 59.9k from US personnel, but I'm glad that wasnt the case as it would have been too high. Also looks like the stripped down version will be available for less weight and...

My biggest gripe hands down is the interior and always has been since I first sat in the mule with half of it missing. It never really improved. I like the car, but I'm just not sure why it had to be that bland.

I'm pretty sure it is indeed for like 2-3mpg. It's all priorities sadly, and as long as marketing can say 301hp they're happy. I feel the same as you, and so do my other TMG compatriots. A few of which just messaged me on this subject actually (after they saw this discussion) haha.
