Just saw this ad, consistent BMW ad placement throughout:
If you need a new toy for your car company, I guess it is a no brainer asking BMW M to handle the heavy lifting. At the end of the clip, that BMW I6 sounds fantastic, so thats a bonus. |

Just a few minor changes make a huge difference, and you can see the MKIV lineage clear as day on that one. Bravo! |

Something mentioned in this video was that Toyota took apart B58 engines as part of their involvement for more intensive quality and reliability testing than BMW was used to doing. They would then ask for revisions based on these tests, according to the film. I have to wonder if this means ALL BMW cars with a B58 variant would also benefit from this more extensive quality testing.

You know what would be ironic? That the new "Zupra" is super reliable like a Toyota should be, and the new Z4 is about as reliable as a BMW gets.

Its all a made up story for the potential toyota buying public to feel special. There's no toyota tech in the z4/supra. Its all 3/1 series tech, like every other z4 generation before it. If you look at the underside of the g29, its all so familiar if you work on bmw's. No toyota influence to be found.
