What's your take on the final production specs and looks?
Apparently those HP numbers are probably a bit low as these BMW engines tend to be reported at a number that is closer to WHP as opposed to the BHP as expected from manufacturers.
Car talk! Ahoy!

The styling is bizarre in a way that I don't hate and sometimes like a lot.
If it had come out like a year or two ago it would probably be more on my radar and be a potential buy for me.
I look forward to seeing what people do with them though.
£50k over here for the base model. With the top-spec that gets you matt-grey paint pushing £58k ($74k)
Definitely well in the range of "purchase after a substantial lottery win", so I'll stick with my 86 and enjoy having that third pedal
And if you want to go as fast, there's the Coyoda turbo kit. If you wanna go faster, plenty of companies sell LS/LT conversion kits.
now to save
50 grand though lul
And before you all say nooooo, Janson, don’t jinx yourself, I’m way ahead of you! I ran it under a truck and did $2.6k of damage to it a week before I made my final payment.
Dang, do you have multiple cars or do you manage to drive even less than I do?
I really love the crazy color though.
My car is an electric blue, it’s not that common around here and I love being able to pick out my car amongst a sea of black and silver and white cars.
I guess I drive less. Mostly to/from work lately.
What does the "kit" entail?
Impressive! I'm a homebody and I live about 8min from where I work and still manage to put on about 10k per year.
Something like this appears to be recommended? https://www.autozone.com/fuel-and-engine-cleaners-additives/fuel-injector-cleaner/mityvac-fuel-injection-cleaning-kit/972277_0_0
To get the injectors removed and cleaned in an ultrasonic bath is a much more involved process, but is the only way to actually guarantee your injectors will be as clean as new, no matter what.
Kits seem to be a hose with an indicator and a bottle of cleaner. I'd have to assume they have several uses in them.
If you're going to the effort of removing the injectors, may as well get them cleaned thoroughly.
Depends on what the shop is actually going to do for your money. Are they scamming you by charging $200 to pour a useless bottle of cleaner in your tank or are they actually pulling the injectors to put them in an ultrasonic cleaner?
Personally, until you've got evidence from the OBDC readings that your long term fuel trims are way out indicating an injector issue, I wouldn't go to the effort or cost of pulling the injectors. And given that gas has mandatory detergents in it already, I wouldn't waste money on the little bottles of cleaner either, in general your injectors will go a long time without maintenance. My truck owners manual for example, lists no inspection or maintenance interval for fuel injectors out to max 150,000 miles. As pointed out, if the injectors really are dirty enough to require cleaning then they'll need a good ultrasonic cleaning, not just more solvent.
If your injectors are lightly varnished, any of them should do the trick. I trust brands like Redline because they're definitely enthusiast-biased and have less market saturation, and if their shit doesn't work that news spreads around the enthusiast community very quickly, and nobody ever buys it again. Bigger brands like Chevron can get away with a less effective product because they are sold fucking everywhere and trade mostly off brand recognition.
The new GT 500 also debuted at Detroit. Horsepower war? What horsepower war?
In less good looking car news, it's been raining a lot here but I can hardly tell driving my 2018 crosstrek. Shit is so grippy it makes me want to drive like an idiot in the rain.
Buy the new BMW Z4, same car, more HP. I personally find nothing appealing about the Supra as far as the heritage angle goes. Toyota pretty much brought next to nothing to the table on this one.
Edit: Z4, not M4.

Quaint.

Whats interesting is that BMW is more than likely offering a manual in the Z4 in Europe. We might see international Supras with manuals.

The pic on my phone is too big but that’s pretty accurate

The active cruise control and lane keeping systems don’t feel anywhere near as invasive as those on Toyotas and Hondas that I’ve driven, which is a big plus in my book
It’s really a shame that they’re gonna stop making these for the foreseeable future
