More importantly, will BMW therefore make a G29 Z4M?

Nope don't like it one bit.

Just looks like someone has taken the E89 and asked, how do we make this more ugly? What ever they decided it worked.

Good news. However the question remains - will Toyota release the B58 manual variant to the UK market?

Fantastic news!

I really hope that the manual version gets offered in the UK for sure.

I'm gutted that the Nissan 400Z isn't coming to the UK, so this could be the tonic that I'm after for definite. I really like this Supra, and the only thing that I didn't like about it was the auto gearbox.

That’s the only question that matters

What a bonus that would be, more power and it would also unlock the access to the individual colour choice as when I asked about that for my G29 I was told that was only available for ///M cars

I saw a nice metallic blue Supra at a local car meet this morning and really liked it - they even kept the "double-bubble" roof!

Personally I prefer them to the E89 and G29.

But a manual Supra with an M engine could actually make me want a Toyota.

If bmw did put the m4 engine in the z4 can you imagine the price. I reckon 65-70k which would make it one seriously expensive zed.
Would be amazing with that horsepower, but would it require 4 wheel drive?

Ugly looking thing. But take the engine transmission package and get it into a G29, with a new front end, as soon as possible and I might have to dip into mrsG's holiday fund.

I know but given the timeline it might be an excellent excuse as it’ll be in the run of the last new Zeds available. If I got one I might even keep it for a while

As you know I can’t fit in a 718 and even if I could it’d still be £15-£20k cheaper than my spec’d one of them

Ah the Porsche options list…..got to love it. In other countries they offer packs, but not in. U.K.
Apparently Porsche HQ refer to us as treasure island for this exact reason.

Think they missed a huge opportunity by not making it a hybrid along the lines of the i8. Petrol engine driving the rears and electric on the front making it 4 wheel drive. Imagine the performance then
