People who like dyno queens and quarter miles will be very happy Toyota stuck a beefy I6 in it, I bet someone has a 500+ whp car on stock engine internals within two years of release. We'll be seeing built engines advertising 600+ hp in no time. People will call it a GT-R killer and internet comments will be hilarious and dumbfounding once again like when the 86 was fresh.

But the B48 I have experience in was replaced under warranty with <20k miles on it, so imo fears of BMW reliability are justified, the only upside is the B58 has been on the road a few years now so the Toyota Z5 won't be getting revision 1.0 of the engine.

Yes. BMW generally underated their engine and leave a lot of headroom for their series of engine upgrade. That's NOT the point. BMW engine has design flaws. I have a friend with built '08 335i pushing ~500whp, but this is not the point. The point is interval of part needed to be replaced is very short and sometimes fail because they were designed to be flawed. Another friend's '13 had his oil filter blew up driving on the street. If he didn't know better he would have to pay stealership 5K to replace things that weren't broken. BMW engines are pieces of crap made to serve their greedy unprofessional stealerships.

That's just the gray FT1 concept that's been going around. It was at the Chicago show two years ago.

I do like the orange disposable razor as a interior door handle though...

My excitement over this car has been dying. Anyone else think it will not be the second coming?
