Just fun how it went from pure (stated) speculation to "Bimmerpost members said the above is true and the US will only receive the more powerful version of the B58" and "US spec Z4 and Supra will have 385hp from BMW's B58" in just two forums. By the time it makes it through a couple more it will be recorded as an official statement from God.
for the most part they are actually a pretty good reliable source imo. they have members that have provided really good and actuate info. SupraMKV's "insider" also says the same thing. we'll just have to wait and see.

Looks like it has the blind spot monitoring indicator in the mirror. It should be placed somewhere more subtle, like near the a-pillar so it is in my peripheral vision. Toyota has run amock, again. But we knew the Supra successor would never live up to the hype. Ruined.

I did consult with a religious figure about the matter. They suggested that I turn the other cheek. I countered with crucifixion. We both settled on getting drunk on wine.

If you read this post like a Trump Tweet, it will totally make your day.

Jet aside, I don't see the issue with it bud I feel like most cars I've seen with Blind spot monitoring has been in it's mirror. there was one car I can't remember which had like some weird looking box on the a pillar and I thought I wanted it in the mirror. Hey difference in taste.

Failing Toyota makes terrible decision with horrible blind spot monitoring placement. Sad!

Elitist FT86 telling the driving class where the BLS should be. Inside the mirror is fake news. The segment of buyers that would have bought the Supra would have been huge - like the crowds for all of Porsche's products with BLS on the inside of the mirror, in the peripheral vision of the driver. But just like the Dems, Supra is failing. Made in crime-ridden Australian. Taking American jobs and sending them overseas. Working with the rocket man, and Tillerson, who has a very low IQ. Very embarrassing. Like Supra.

Oh that's right. If people like it, it's BMW. If it sucks, it's Toyota. I forgot where I was for a second there...

I've read so many comments about the Twins to the effect of "Toyota can't build a sports car anymore - they need Subaru to build a fun car lol" of the same vein. Toyota gets bashed because that's the mark of the internet enthusiast (nevermind that Subarus other than the BRZ tend to be understeery messes, whose only party tricks are AWD and turbo).
