Something is up for sure. It doesn’t add up to a 3.8sec 0-60. Even the stated 4.1sec 0-60 seemed undoable with 335hp at 3,397lbs.

Not misleading. The Euro M2 Comp has particulate filters in the exhaust, the Euro M2C’s run 0.1bar more boost to compensate. If you buy a new M3/M4 now in Europe they also now are fitted with OPF’s. The Z4 will be the same way. Porsche will now start putting gas particulate filters on their new...

Facelift standard RC-F now does 4.2. Funny how some of the articles are quoting 3.96 for Track Edition, like that 0.06 makes a difference.

“The engine is a 2.0-liter with a twin-scroll turbo setup, offered in a couple different formats. The high-output version creates 255 horsepower (190 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, while the base tune generates a more modest 194 hp (145 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of...

So North America version is 0.5sec quicker without the particulate filters. Euro Z4 is 4.4sec with 335hp.

Do you know if the Euro Supra is getting the gas particulate filters? Find it odd the how the Z4 M40i has 335hp in Euro market and US market gets 382hp(minus the filters). While the Supra has the same 335hp in both markets.

Click the link in that article. “...the German automaker says it will sprint to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.” Where is CNET getting 3.9 for the Z4? BMW rates the DCT M4 at 3.9.

Why do all other publications quote 4.4 sec for Z4 M40i?

The Euro M40i has the same 335hp(due to particulate filters), so it can’t be quicker in Europe as the Z4 weighs more.

Still find it odd it has same HP as the Euro spec Z4 M40i fitted with the particulate filters. While the US M40i has 382hp without the filters. What exactly is going on with the Supra HP ratings?

It isn’t according to the manufacturer stated figures. If it is during independent testing, power to weight ratio is the explanation.

I see you are in Europe. The Z4 M40i you get will have exact same output, 335hp.

4.1 0-60 with 335hp. The facelifted RC-F is being quoted at 4.2, standard RC-F is such a fat pig.

Atacama Yellow from the Z4 35is was a very nice non-metallic yellow. A brighter version of Dakar Yellow.

Are we to take anything away from the Supra short block part number being different from the G05 X5 short block part number? Did anyone happen to save the short block part number for the Supra? Realoem also pulled down the G05 X5 parts list.

B58 is at 613whp, another 300whp to go. So 1000hp+ is the threshold to use a Supra badge? How many years of development does the aftermarket for the MKV get to meet that threshold?

B58 is turning out to be quite tuner friendly. ECU was just recently cracked, tuners previously relied only on piggy backs. A tuner just broke 600whp with B58. Upgraded turbo, basic bolt-ons, 93oct w/ octane booster, no meth injection.

Seeing what a lot of Supra owners do to their cars, high hp builds. S55 over the B58 all day every day. S55 is a much more playful motor too on track, very rev happy. B58 is a nice motor...does well in BMW's regular models, good daily driving manners.

The S58 is BMW M's future of their product line. They are not farming it out to Toyota any time soon, if ever. X3M/X4M...then G80 M3....then G82 M4...the G87 M2. Not until after those cars are released will a S58 be seen in any other model, even a BMW. The S55 is still a possibility in the...

Look I don't think any S motor is going near a Toyota product. But if one did, it still could be the S55. Especially if a GRMN variation is a limited production run.
