Yeah, but for how long?
Impressive, don't get me wrong.
But care to start a pool on what grenades first, and how many launches before it does?

Review the link on a gent who tore apart and assessed the engine. Its very strong and thats why Toyota bought it. This is not a weak motor overall and for tune-ability its quite adaptable. The Supra is a nice package stock as well. Im not sure what the heartburn is for people overall. People in general, have no credibility to post intense opinion on what is good or bad unless there is experience behind the wheel - I think we can all objectively agree on that.

Yes the experience of owners will be key in the long term, as well as long term press reviews. As if anyone here would turn down the chance to test it for a full day or even own one. I would not. Its new, its powerful and appears more than capable even with noisy buffeting lol

Your steering might go? Your electronics may shut down but most BMW engines as a standalone are bulletproof. The issue with BMW engines they use cheap plastic hoses and wires that go to shyt fast. Replace those and you're good. In the case of the Supra. Toyota went through the engine and told BMW they had to replace all of that including using stronger metal components in certain areas.

I'm not a fan of BMW myself. But good Is good. No matter what my emotions about that companies philosophy is. Even broken clocks are right twice.

We can hope Toyota has the influence on anciliary items as you post above. Both my M235i and M2 have not been an issue and used daily. Reliable in the strict sense!
