^^ This. The A90, even while tied up with BMW, is Toyota’s last chance to really play with fully gas/petrol non-hybrid engines in whatever configurations they want to in a current production Supra. I’m sure it will remain that way as long as the A90 is made but once they get to designing an...

That’s true, Jeff. Thank you. They have done it before.

Whatever the GRMN edition is powered by it won’t be a mere face-lift. But they either get there with an S58 or by putting much more than a 40hp power bump into the B58C/D. The model is currently missing additional variants and performance oriented options, etc. The upcoming Mazda I6 engine...

Something I am curious about is if the B58C is known to consume any or much oil between changes like some other BMW engines (especially some M engines) of past manufacture especially since BMW designed engines have no oil pan dipstick (I assume the A90 is no exception to lacking a dipstick)...

The S58 probably isn’t in the pipeline. Possible... but only if Toyota pays a LOT for the privilege. I’d say that with the money saved on engineering an inline-six engine of their own Toyota could theoretically spend some of their own budget to tune the B58C/D much further than 382hp for...

^^ They way the S58’s availability has been discussed I’d expect it to cost MUCH more than just a $10k increase if offered in the MKV. I’d expect closer to $85k-$95k MSRP for that. There’s supposed to already be a B58 variant (B58D?) in the pipeline that will cover the horsepower bump to...

For what it’s worth, while at my local Toyota dealer for service today I popped over to a customer’s MKV to chat with the owner and a technician and sales guy whom I know. The sales fellow was firm that we’re getting a manual transmission option on the four cylinder Supra come 2021. I pressed...

ToyoBMW, you’re doing the right thing. I also research the hell out of what is required and involved with all my vehicle services (Toyota TIS is great). I tend to always buy the required engine, transmission, differential and any other oils (or fluids) required ahead of time, including all...

I would like to see a thinner three-spoke airbag-equipped steering wheel option be it from Toyota GR’s parts division, TRD or BMW M with some badge switching on the part of owners. The stock steering wheel is too chunky for my tastes and that is one of the first things I would address if...

Looks great and sounds great!

Very cool and cleverly integrated instrumentation in a perfect place for the driver. This would make my want list.

Happily. I will not be continuing with the off-topic discussions here any further. I’d hoped my post in this thread a day ago would be no more than a momentary footnote deviation and maybe even a diffuser but that certainly failed. I’d like to hear some more from Dreihundert’s efforts at this...

Actually looking at what they've done without having the Z4 manual pedal box yet (they used some year M4 pedal box temporarily) and that 520D gearbox without yet changing out the factory rear end gearing for the required 4.10's to match the Zf8's overall gearing I'd say they're well on their way...

^^ It definitely needs to be nimble, light and VERY tossable like the generation 1 cars so if he is working on improving on that formula it can only be good for the 86. He'll need to retain the 6-speed manual gearbox option and standard LSD to keep the small low powered car "fun" though...

The good that I can say about it is that its completely polarizing exterior design looks like something out of early 80's futurist Syd Mead conceptual artwork. Actually Syd Mead even publicly commented on the CyberTruck's design, praising it as a buck to the unwavering idea of what a "truck" is...

Um... for what it's worth I think there are several forum members here who don't yet own an MKV but are nonetheless very interested in one and are considering it for one reason or another, some of whom own all sorts of other styles of cars in their garages. Between the not impossible but very...

I mean... Tetsuya Tada has made rumblings a couple of years ago about wanting to do another proper Celica GT-Four. Whether that’ll actually happen...? And recently there was some news about Toyota and Subaru possibly co-developing the next WRX STI as a 3-door like an homage to their much loved...

Very excited for the upcoming LC-F 4.0L TT V8! That is going to be one great machine when it launches! A very high price tag was to be expected but $165k is pretty steep. One other thing to bring up from a bit ago: Is the next IS generation still slated to be tied up with Mazda and their...

Eh, well... it’s more that some things relate to other things and there I am :dunno:

It's a great place for many other reasons. I've lived and worked there for many years and will continue to. There is no shortage of great sports cars, hot rods and basically any cool vehicle you can think of there and people who are diehard gearheads. California and Los Angeles specifically...
