I decided to get a X3 M40i pre-opf as a new daily and finish M2C. The GP2.5 will leave I think and I might a GP3 as a replacement. Other than that, I am just gonna wait and see what happens. MR |

Maybe in 3-4 years when the Supra is ready for a refresh. No way they will give this motor to Toyota before they put it in the M3.

Here are my random/scattered thoughts...
The C8 put the world on notice. Other brands are being forced to pick up the pace. Regarding more power... I have learned that throwing more power at a car is fruitless without the chassis to handle it. A lesson learned from my 16' M3 (which could not handle it) to my SS 1LE (which can). Does the Supra have the chassis to take more power, not sure , I haven't driven one, but moving forward that will be a factor in my buying decision. A prefer a balanced sports car where everything works together as a total package.

good engine is a good engine, who cares it goes to where, if Toyota makes them even more reliable the better...
C8 without Z51 package won't do 0-60 under 3 seconds, and the first gear is tuned to get that 0 to 60, Corvette has always been the best bang for the buck, and handling has been there since C6, so I just don't see it as game changer as others have been saying |

You heard it here. The answer about the S58 on a Toyota = NO
The Japanese sportcar Supra's B58 is not on the same level as an M's S58. Munich will not give a rival sportcar its great engine. |

I know man. It's like the stupid McLaren F1 project. What was BMW thinking?!

PTF tuned it beyond 500hp now, and papadakis racing has picked the engine apart and thinks it's good for 1000hp..

Race clubs and tuners aren’t so worried about warranties and longevity like BMW/Toyota is, which is my point. How long is the engine and supporting mechanicals going to run problem free at 1000hp? 5000 miles? 15000 miles? Who knows???
