#news #BMW What If The Mk4 Toyota Supra Was Based On The BMW M Coupe? https://t.co/0iXzCCOtWm https://t.co/lDRpEflWsJ
There are some really good answers here, and i don’t think it’s just 1 element making Toyota’s perform so highly against other marques. When you compare Toyota and Lexus cars against its largest rival - German Manufacturers like Mercedes, VW, Audi and BMW There is a large disparity between what each marque focus on . The Germans tend to over engineer their components and mechanisms, and anyone who has tried to repair a Sunroof mechanism on a VW golf, or the electric windows has found a overly complicated mess of Springs, Steel pulley cables and Plastic gears. Far too many components to do a simple job. The Toyota method is to use the best quality metals, make it strong yet light, and use as little components as needed to increase component life and not require maintenance. Metallurgy plays a big part of Toyota’s success, and they tend to use Component manufacturers Like Aisin (Daihatsu) and these things are built to last. Their bearings are fantastic., As are the Rubber o rings and seals, Steering Ball joints lasting many hundreds of thousands of miles, All metal water pumps that never go brittle and shatter their impellers (Unlike BMW) Obviously, not every part will be invincible, and Toyota’s do have their Recalls, but from my own personal experiences of working on both German cars and Toyotas, I prefer the Japanese build quality.. Bolts don’t snap, things come apart without needing tonnes of specialist tools and it’s rare that you have electrical faults. Recently, Toyota teamed up with BMW to make the A90 Supra / BMW Z4 and although they seemed to let BMW do most of the Work on designing and producing the car, they did take an interest on the Engine that would power it. The (B58 )and from older accounts, Toyota Engineers Tested each individual component for material quality and highlighted several they didn’t think up to their standards. It will be interesting to see how long the new Supra will last, being that it’s mainly a BMW, and whether this will open a huge warranty can of worms for Toyota dealership technicians?! Shame they don’t do a 6 speed manual version, as that’s what the purists want. The mk4 supra with the V160 6 speed gearboxes are the ones commanding the most money on the 2nd hand market.
The 2019 Toyota Supra Toyota has a lot riding on this car. For this car to be even close to its MK4 predecessor it needs to be a really amazing car. After realizing this car will be based off of the new BMW Z4 and have a V6 instead of inline 6 is kinda a let down. I wanted it to be unique and have an engine being able to handle a load like the 2JZ-GTE in the MK4 supra. However, the engine may still be super modifiable. If they can make this car a true successor to the last gen supra then this car may be next big sports car. Anyway, I hope that answered your question. *,Photo courtesy of Bing
I probably wouldn’t. The MK4 Supra should’ve been the last one especially because of the influence BMW had working on this car with Toyota. When I hear BMW is working on a car, I usually get really excited hearing that a collab is happening between two automakers, kind of like a 13-year-old heard that BMW was working on the M1 with Lamborghini. In the future, I probably won’t be as excited. If you don’t know, BMW owns MINI and Rolls-Royce. If you sit in a BMW and know what they’re like, you’ll see many similarities between them and MINI & Rolls-Royce. Expect that from the new supra. A lot of the parts are recycled or repurposed from BMW. The buttons on the steering wheel are extremely similar to the ones on the f30 3 series, and it doesn’t really look like something Toyota would make. it has iDrive, a BMW Steptronic transmission lever, and the stereo buttons and climate control are most likely from BMW. The BMW-made engine doesn’t bother me as much as the whole interior reminding me of my fathers BMW. I still feel uncomfortable about a Japanese car not sounding Japanese, if that makes sense. And it’s things like this that kind of tell me that true, revolutionary Japanese engineering is dead. I don’t look at a Toyota or Honda and see the same magic that their 90s models had. They’ve been too Americanized. If you take a really good look at it, you can see a GT-86 just redesigned. People would probably go for a GT-86 instead. Considering the price tag of $ 50,000, I would most likely go for a MK4 Supra or even a 440i, or if I was really crazy I’d go an extra $16,000 for an M3 or do a 2JZ swap on the 2020 Supra. Otherwise, probably not for me. I’d hate to see this car suffer from poor sales, but at the same time, I don’t really want to see everyone driving it because that will really kill off the magic.
Lets see. All my Peugeots have wheel bolts. My BMW 520i Tourer had wheel bolts, My Citroen van has wheel bolts. My Ford Escort Mk4 had wheel bolts. My Vauxhall Astra (1995) and Corsa (2002) had wheel bolts. I think the last cars I owned that had wheel nuts rather than bolts were my 1971 Rover P5B and my 1965 Series IIa Landrover. Wheel nuts are a rare thing these days, especially with alloy wheels.
I have been lucky enough to own all the brands mentioned above and i think it all comes down to certain engines and models and I would like to mention that year is a big factor in reliability. I have owned many BMW's and i have found that the majority of them will come with small niggles which will always need putting right. I had a bmw x5 sd 3.0 2007 that would literally lose its mind in the winter and the dashboard would light up like a Christmas tree most days in winter but the odd day or two during the year. I would always have some sort of issue with the car and it is frustrating to when you see bmw owners are always praising their machines build quality. vw’s are generally not too bad in reliability but there are models out there that need huge amounts of money spending on them to put right and for example purposes the new golf r 2014+ has turbo issues. I mean a brand new car and the turbo goes after 25–30k miles is not good. But I personally had to change the turbo's on my vw touareg and i paid from out of pocket so.... reliability is not a strong point FOR some vw models but cars like the Jetta mk4 and mk5 ( uk bora/Jetta/golf) have been strong in terms of reliability Mercedes such as the w220 were absolute money pits they needed mega bucks throwing at them and I sold my w220 s55k after a short amount of time and bought an e55 w211 which was slightly better but lacked reliability in the electronics department. I have owned many Audis and for me the Audi a8 d3 2003+ model has to be the most reliable car I have owned, nothing spent on it but fuel and servicing costs over the years. I don't know if I have been lucky but other Audi a8's which I have owned have never really stretched my wallet. I know this particular car brand hasn't been mentioned but the Toyota/lexus range are best by a mile in terms of reliability so if you are looking to buy car only on how reliable it is then look not further because you wont find anything that comes close. bottom line is this mate every car has its strong and weak points and some car models are more reliable than others but sometimes I think it comes down to your luck, but with some research and the correct maintenance technique you should be fine. regards mo
A nonexhaustive list: Already classic: 1993-1998 (Mk4) Toyota Supra. The twin-turbo version sold new for around $40,000. Clean twin-turbo Mk4 Supras are now worth $60,000+. 1987 Buick Regal Grand National. Originally sold for under $20,000. Low-mileage examples now sell for $25,000+. The GNX is even rarer and even more expensive. 1993-1997 Porsche 911 Turbo (993). Example: 1997 Turbo S originally sold for $115k. Now sells for $150k+. Ferrari F40/F50/Enzo, McLaren F1, Porsche 959/Carrera GT -- need I say more? Almost classic: 1991 GMC Syclone. Not quite selling for above its original MSRP, yet. But it is pretty close, and only ~3000 were produced. 1991-1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. Only 3000 produced. Many sell for $5000-10,000 (original MSRP ~$21,000). Acura NSX. The "everyday exotic." They are reliable, cheaper to fix than most exotics, and relatively rare. 1999-2003 BMW Z8. They weren't really very good to drive, they were exceedingly impractical, and they were priced like exotics but without the exotic pedigree. Not many people bought them, and their rarity will contribute to their desirability later. They also look great. Likely to become classic: 2004 Subaru WRX STI. The first STI to come to the US. Already depreciates very slowly. Low-mileage, unmodified examples will likely become more valuable as they age. 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII. Same deal as the STI -- first year, holds value well already, low-miles unmolested examples will be rare. 2004-2006 Dodge Ram SRT10. Dodge put a viper engine in a Ram pickup. They were terribly impractical and so nobody bought them. Rarity always helps. 1998-2002 BMW M Coupe. BMW took a Z3 roadster, made it into a two-seater hatchback, and then stuffed the engine from the M3 into it. Fairly rare, fairly impractical, but they are a hoot to drive and still worth a lot today. However, there is an important point to be made. The Millennials are much less car-crazy than their parents, the Baby Boomers, who are the driving force behind the astronomical price of rare muscle cars It's unlikely the 1980+ classic car market will ever be as hot as the late-60s muscle car market.
Yeah. If you want a fast fun RWD car that has a more interesting engine than a Mustang V8 and good neutral balance, what is better? The BMW i6 engines are great. The N54 and N55 have issues, but none of them are horrible issues outside the eating of accessory belts when you neglect the car, but if you are spending 50k on a car, aren’t you planning on maintaining it? Are you planning on neglecting your car? If you aren’t planning on neglecting you car, the Supra is awesome. It’s a neutral balanced sports car with a solid transmission, great differential, and an engine that with a 2500 dollar turbo upgrade and fueling upgrade can make 600hp. To get the same power out of a mustang would cost 4 times as much and it doesn’t handle near as well as a Supra and there isn’t another car in the price category that would be considered competition. If you want to split hairs, the BMW M240i, M340i, and M440i would be competition, but even then, you’re looking at BMW’s as the only real competition for a highly modifiable car in the price category with a solid RWD platform and good balance. The Supra is a great car no matter what BMW haters tell you. The label of being a Supra shouldn’t be t he reason you are buying a car anyways, but even the MK4 Supra’s head was designed by BMW, so it could be argued that even the legendary engine in the MK4 was influenced by BMW so who cares if the new Supra is a rebadged BMW. It’s awesome either way.
Here’s my pick if I’m given the chance to pick one specific car in every country of origin: • USA: ,Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon What other vehicles from the land of the free and home of the brave represents the people’s patriotism to their country? There’s nothing else. It’s only this Jeep. It’s a modern successor to a war companion that have helped the US win against enemies during WW2. In post-war years, it symbolizes the American’s love for adventure and great outdoors. Runners Up: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chevrolet Suburban/Tahoe, Dodge Charger/Challenger, RAM Trucks • Germany: ,Porsche 911 It doesn’t need further explanation. It’s the quintessential sports car, and is probably the most iconic rear-engine vehicle on the planet. The design may evolve over time, but the basic formula isn’t dying, and it’ll never be. Runners Up: BMW 3/5 Series, BMW M2/M3/M5, BMW 507, Mercedes Benz S-Class, Mercedes-AMG E63S Sedan/Station Wagon, VW Golf/Golf GTI, VW Scirocco • UK: ,MINI Cooper This little car is the best representation of everything British and 1960s pop culture. It’s the car that defies the notion that bigger is always better. Its simple charm makes it attractive to style-conscious drivers. Just like the Porsche 911, the basic formula is and will never die even though the design evolves over time. Huge thanks to BMW’s expertise in developing excellent driver’s cars, modern MINIs are more engaging to drive than ever before. Runners Up: Land Rover Defender/Range Rover, Jaguar F-Type, Triumph Spitfire • Italy: ,Ferrari Portofino I admit, there are way more better Italian cars out there. I just can’t deny the fact that this is one of the nicest grand tourers in the planet. It’s quite possibly one of the most stylish and elegant Ferraris that have ever existed in this world. Runners Up: Too many to mention. • Japan: ,A80 Toyota Supra Before explaining my choice, allow me to apologize to the subgroups of JDM fans who patronize other iconic Japanese cars like the Nissan GT-R, Honda/Acura NSX, Honda Civic Type-R, etc. We know the proven fact that the Toyota Supra (specifically the A80/Mk4 generation) has one of the most iconic engines ever. The 2JZ engine is so much tunable, it’ll even give the high-performance Italian supercars a run for their money., ,You might ask me about my impressions with regards to the A90/Mk5 Supra. Apparently, purists are a little bit skeptical from the fact that it’s a BMW Z4 with a different body. Come on guys! It’s too early to judge. Just give that baby a chance to shine. Runners Up: Nissan GT-R, Honda/Acura NSX, Honda Civic Type-R, Mazda RX-7/RX-8, Mazda MX-5, Subaru Impreza/WRX/WRX STI, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Toyota Land Cruiser
Yeah, let's get all that down-force. Do you really need it or is it just for the looks, like this ebay mini spoiler? If you own a first generation Audi TT (model 8N) without a spoiler, like the one bellow, then you should add it. At high speeds, the car starts to lose traction on the rear wheels, which has caused a lot of accidents. Audi fixed this by installing small spoilers and offered retrofitting spoilers for early models. It didn’t look that good, but it saved lives. BONUS: Installing a spoiler just for the looks Now a small disclaimer, this is my opinion and tastes are different so feel free to disagree. I personally only like the design changes that when you first see it, you immediately think “this could be stock”, nothing excessive. With that in mind let me continue. If you own a normal ,VW Golf,, put a GTI spoiler on it. If you already have a GTI then put a GTI Clubsport spoiler on it, and so on. If you own a ,BMW 430d,, get that sweet M4 carbon lip. If you have a ,Toyota Supra, MK4, don't touch anything you're just going to decrease its value. Thanks for reading the whole post☺
