Yup, this is one possible scenario.

Actually that is also just a rumor at this point. We still don't know what the BMW/Toyota car will be at all. It is possible that FT-1 will be done in house and underpin the Lexus IS-F/RC-F. The latest rumors are saying the partnership between BMW and Toyota will produce a new modular platform that will result in 4 sports car. Two for BMW and two for Lexus.
The 1st car: BMW and Lexus could be getting a new Z4 replacement "Z5" (along with a Lexus version).
The 2nd car: A second larger roadster to fight the Mercedes SL with (SC430 replacement? / rumored BMW Z7).
Just rumors, so take it with a gain of salt.
