The warning chime. Has it even changed over the years? It's been a while since I've been in a Bimmer.

I was guessing 10's when the temps cool down early Fall but tuners and shops seem to be making it faster daily ha ha.

Even the engine coolant is BMW green. The GT86 with the subaru co-op engine isn't. Ah well

Attended a local Cars and Coffee meet today at Katie's in McLean, VA. Some Toyo Corp folks were there with a MKV and saved us some parking spots. It was me (Black MKIV), 2 other MKIV's and a MKIII. This was my first time up close with the MKV, the Toyota team there were very professional and handled the BMW jabs with ease . They were pretty excited about our "old" Supras being there too.

soooo much drool over the MK IVs... what sort of bmw jabs are we talking here? i bet i could've stumped em with a few of mine haha

if i come to VA can i get a ride in your supra? that would be a dream come true... and by ride i mean what happens at 1:20 in this clip

The usual of why did they go with BMW etc, how fast, how much power etc.....no one was really aggressive as they are online though. They let anyone sit in car etc...

Ha ha I'm actually in MD most of the time but sure. Just pick a safeword for the ride along

I think if you can pick these up for low $40k or used for low $30k, it would be a fantastic weekend car. I think it will be much lower maintenance than a C8 due to having a regular auto vs DCT and it's not pushing that much hp.

Time will tell if its reliable as the drivetrain is BMW derived.

I never noticed you were in MD and that your care was built by Ben. He's a good dude.

Damn those MKIVs look so good!
Couldn’t Toyota just have used the same shape and updated the interior tech.

I wondered the same thing. At the very least make it look similar. Especially since the MKIV is so iconic.

nicedude

Haha. Different class of cars. One is $55K maxed out and the other is more like $80K before the actual "luxury" customizations. Can buy you a new Camry as a DD and weekend the Supra vs. just one C8.

No idea who will be more reliable in the long run though. Well, the Camry of course.
