Which dealer? Pearson?

This has happened to some folks with BMWs too -- the system gets tricked by steep driveways and/or driveways with stone walls and will slam on the brakes. One guy I know couldn't get in his driveway until he turned off the system! We googled it and turns out it affects many people.

It hasn't changed that I can see -- it's always had a $63,700 base price (doesn't include $995 destination however). I attached the original pricing guide from the release (effective Feb 5 2019) that shows $63,700. That was the first official pricing info from BMW; anything predating that was...

All FWD cars have integrated transmission and diff (aka "transaxle") and there have been a few front-engine RWD cars that do it too (ie, Nissan GT-R). It is standard fare for many mid-engine or rear-engine sports cars. I never remember hearing about major failures with any of these but I...

It's a decal so I assume it's a reproduction of his signature.

I suspect it uses condition-based-service (CBS) based on the BMW iDrive system. Hunt through the menus, look under Vehicle > Vehicle Status > Service Required (or similar if it was tweaked on the Supra). That will give you an estimate of when the next service is required and should update...

Yeah, on my M2 Comp I have that same simplified version of the camera/parking system where they overlay green/yellow/red boxes (from proximity sensor data) on the reverse camera image. It's a good integration. But I feel blind compared to my X3 when there is an obstacle in front or to the...

LEs come standard with red painted plastic (not CF) caps. Optional caps are CF and are clearcoated so you can see the mat. Typical gray/brown CF color.

Thanks for posting, that will be a nice car for someone. They have some pics online: https://www.mechanicsvilletoyota.com/new/Toyota/2020-Toyota-Supra-599122530a0d0cc775e2ce4faf2cb415.htm Build date is 6/6 on this one, so it probably hasn't been sitting at port very long.

That is a great description and diagram. If that is the mechanism, then I can think of a few things to try -- one would be trip strips or some type of surface roughness applied to the A-pillar. Another would be some type of fence or tabs on the A-pillar. A third would be vortex generators...

Drove one yesterday and thought the rear camera was totally fine, but wish the car offered the surround view cameras available on BMW models. I have that on my X3 M40i and it is really helpful when parking in tight places.

I saw that too! Almost wanted to call and see how far they would take it. Every dealer in this area is really clueless about the Supra, which is sad.

I noticed it during a drive today. I work in aerodynamics and think it's fixable, but it's not my car so I can't really fiddle with it. Have you identified the mirror gusset as the source? I got the impression it was a buffeting from the A-pillars. In any case, I think you could do some...

You can negotiate the prices and you don't have to buy it until just before the factory warranty expires. So do the math. You can also buy warranties from other dealers. Some sell them online for considerably less.

Not sure why it takes them so long unless they are learning as they go -- BMW dealers have turned vehicles around in a couple of hours for me.

The fact that they got a B58 to teardown should tell us a lot about how far along the engine was prior to Toyota getting their hands on it -- and the way Tada explained it definitely made it sound past tense as well. There is a video floating around where he was interviewed by a US person with...

Maybe the launch edition numerical decals peeled off....

https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features/toyota-gr-supra-vs-bmw-m2-competition/40632 M2 Competition has the S55 engine from the M3/M4, detuned to 405HP (I consider the M2 to be traction limited so it probably couldn't handle more power).

Yeah, you're thinking about this the wrong way. You are partly right in #1, however many of the parts that were claimed to be Toyota were legacy BMW bits, so if it was true that Toyota engineered those parts, then Toyota must have been engineering parts for BMW for many years prior, and for...

Just so we're clear, what exactly is your position on this? It might be easier to shoot that down. In another similar thread folks were claiming Toyota-engineered parts on the engine and we were able to disprove that with BMW parts diagrams.
