-Toyota started the Supra-Z4 project, BMW was initially not interested. The reason they asked BMW is because they make the best inline 6 motor on the market.
-The car’s wheelbase, Track width, and even tire size were set by the Toyota design team, and BMW tailored their architecture to it. Even the suspension arm lengths were set by Toyota. That weird rear toe-out on compression thing that it does that everybody hates? No BMW does that.
-despite most parts having a BMW logo on them, the Supra is exactly how Toyota wanted it to be, both mechanically and styling. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s because of BMW.
-the turbo Supra mark 4 was 40k USD in 2001, 70k in today’s money. The new Supra is a bargain compared to the old one.
