No kidding, couldn’t they use a 737 Max for Trump?

NBC could use a live F-Bomb counter onscreen right about now. 

For sure, but there’s some record of B58tu going into some Supras already, I’d be curious to see which ones are going to the publications for testing. 

We need one of the magazines to share the VIN of these test cars; could run it against a decoder to see which B58 version was used in the build. I know that's pretty much not going to happen...

It *IS* coming to the US, just... not like this. The 2-series GranCoupe will be this car with a fastback/lift-back instead of a box hatchback. Basically a four-door Ford Probe, and I’m sort ok with that, since I own two BMW’s and an old Ford Probe.

To be fair, Domonic Brown could also throw the dick off of a damn baseball.

The fun thing is that, because this is a Z4 coupe with a Toyota body, you can use any BMW VIN decoder to get the build order for any of these J29 Supras.

BMW is *already* building Supras with the 382HP engine from the Z4 and M340i, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if that’s what Toyota used for this press launch.    This isn’t conjecture, there are build records of Supra VIN’s with the revised, higher output B58 going back into March.   Once the “Launch Edition” is done,…

CORRECT!!!

This makes me so happy.  

Hang on peeps - T-Tops and a Targa roof are different things!  Do we know that; are we acknowledging that??

We’ll all laugh about this fondly when Strong Belwas drinks coffee in A Dream of Spring 30 years from now. 

Neutral - in April ‘17 we bought my wife’s X3 from the local BMW “center” as part of their retired service loaner fleet. The experience was exceptional, but at the same time, that dealership has been on BMW’s “center of excellence” list like 5 times.

Yeah, it’s the same B48 that’s been in everything since 2015. BMW has just issued a TU (technical update) version / revision, probably what will be in this car.  

Z4 already has it.   Will be the same engine in 330i. 

From what I’ve read about the state of Indiana, it would seem *every* lot at the 500 could be considered the Coke Lot. 

I’m only being this nitpicky because this is a car blog, but “pole position” is an idiom derived from racing, so we should use it correctly.   Poll position, I think that’s how we rate the president?

I saw the graphic and I thought “gotta be a Tahoe or Yukon.”  Then I read it all and got that confirmed, but it didn’t matter at all because the story and its rather brave retelling took over my attention.   Thanks for sharing!

We’re stuck in the middle. Born between 77 and like 82, we don’t fit either mold.
