Interesting! I know that the B58 in my 18 340i never burned any oil so this seems odd.

So my cousin needed help clearing a fault on his Supra today (airbag warning from when he took out his seats during some modding), and it turns out BMW ISTA will connect, read, and operate the car, so you don't absolutely require the Toyota version of ISTA that BMW made to work with the new A90/J29.

The issue is blatantly obvious; over and over and over and over and over and over...

Just for fun I looked up 2021 Supra's again, I keep getting drawn back to them.

It's hilarious how many dealers are asking as much $10k over MSRP, when you can find them all over the country for $4-6k under.

Are people really this stupid/lazy they would pay $10k over, vs a plane ticket and a drive home?

That's not what is going on there. All one has to do is look at the cluster. As soon as the car goes over 20km/h with the triggering problem they created present, the result is exactly what it should be. Cant fix stupid.

Tyre pressures? At the end they talk about how other people have experienced the same thing with the TPMS working correctly (of course that might be heresy)

While having my FJ60 serviced I spent some quality time in a 2021 Supra. As much as I wanted to love it, I could not get over its appearance. And this is coming from a Toyota and BMW fan boy. In theory the Supra is my perfect car. In reality it looks forced and contrived. The cockpit also made my 135i feel spacious and don't get me started on the visibility. I would go M2 all day, every day.

Another factor to consider, prob one of the most important ones, is that a Supra and m2 are $10 to $20k apart in price depending on trim.

Also no manual in Supra.

I mentioned this in another Supra vs M2 post, but if the car had a manual, it would def eat into M2 sales.

But in terms of usability, M2 def wins out. Looks are subjective, but I can see lots of people liking the Supra aesthetic.

I'm seeing a lot of dealers trying to sell used Supras over msrp. This is the worst I found. https://www.martinautomart.com/vdp/1...Green-KY-42104

LoL, back in September I could have got one brand new in my area for about $45k.

There's a dealer near me that still has the same black launch edition with the red mirrors at 10k markup. It was delivered right at the beginning of Supra deliveries and has just been sitting there ever since. I go there every few months to pick up an oil filter and I haven't seen a single Supra there besides that unit since it arrived.

Some dealerships just don't care. They don't want to waste time entertaining/haggling with an enthusiast when they can unload minivans and crossovers in a fraction of the effort.
