Correct. But tbh I won’t ever buy a new gen BMW solely because how ugly it looks. Even if someone gave it to me for free. Next step after supra is Porsche 911.

M’s aren’t that special anymore. The supra actually beat M2 Comp on the track by a hair too. So M’s aren’t really that faster.

TBH the money is better spent on a Car like an R8 or a Porsche. BMW is too diluted now. Supra is one of the only cars they make to have a soul. The new BMW's look like they hired a kindergarten kid to design them and the new ugly one display dash in the M2 was a final nail in the coffin for me...

In that case if the wind deflectors add so much drag, the heritage edition with the hoop wing would never have happened. Cuz you know, spoilers also add drag.

Very true. The zf8hp50 in my 340i seems to be rated to 500 lb/ft of tq and they are known to be good till 650 to the wheels before they slip. Pbviously thats not constant and probably reduces the life significantly. But according to my friend who works on these cars. Automatic transmissions are...

The less powerful referring to the inline 4 z4 manual. The supra’s is basically beefed up and custom tuned b48 transmission found in the euro 4cyl z4. Kind of expected but here’s to hoping its a departure from BMW feeling transmission that can handle the power that tuners are going to throw at...

No not really. Nor am I a constant complainer. I mentioned that it was a negative for me but certainly not a deal breaker but then the fanbois jump to conclusions and then you have to elaborate yourself, this is just me elaborating myself. I still like the rest of the car and I hope the sound...

I have one on order just fyi. If I’m spending 70k canadian I have every right to complain about it. I put my money where my mouth is and I’m still buying it.

This is the first I’m hearing about that. Heard supra engineers though the manual will ruin the car.

I had that issue and I never got any codes.

Most answers will boil down to them saving money, And I get that. I guess we'd have to accept it as is & be happy they even offered manual after all these years.

I doubt suspension is software based. Adaptive dampers can only do so much. I bets its retuned spring rates and probably improved bushings.

yes, Its the valve that sends those fumes in the engine for burning. The problem is it gets stuck open and can cause idle stutters. I had that issue, usually when you stop at a light or stop sign especially when you put in gas...

Me at one hour after I put my deposit for the manual supra.

Could be gas tank breather/ventilation valve. It sits on top of valve cover and is a stupid easy fix. Look it up.

Why? I'd want all the issues with sound system ironed out. Isn't that how it works? Early adopters usually sacrifice getting some bugs but the later models having them fixed.

If you’re serious about audio, I’d get an aftermarket solution. I’m an audio engineer and I wouldn’t expect audiophile level audio out of harman sound system.

Porsche is something that I’ve considered for a while and its actually the one I’d be buying if it made more sense financially. Unfortunately the 911 has to wait. I do believe that Nissan is trying to turn their reputation around to what they used to be before and the new Z’s interior looks...

Thanks for pointing this out, Wasn’t aware you could. I’ll try it but my point for the lack of control still stands. The electronic ones go either 0% or a 100%. There is no in between for them unless your pads are busted.

I totally get where you are coming from. I was a manual guy for years before I bought my auto bmw 340i. The paddles were only fun for the first few months. It gets boring after a bit and leaves you wanting more. I have no complaints for it being an automatic. Its a great transmission. But I jist...
