    M3-Engined Toyota Supra is Possible but Not Likely

    The new Toyota Supra has definitely divided opinions with many saying that it is just a BMW Z4 with a different body due to its BMW engine and BMW interior parts. Whether you see that as a positive or a negative, it is the way it is. If you are one of those nay-sayers, then this bit of news may make you a bit more optimistic. While nothing is confirmed, the chance is there that we may see the S58 six-cylinder engine for the 2020 M3 and M4 in a sportier version of the Supra.

    “We’ve certainly made no offer to supply the engine to Toyota – and no request has been made, as far as I know. But it’s an interesting idea, if unlikely for now. It would be a lot for us to give away, you might say. But I’d never say never,” said the head of BMW’s M division, Markus Flasch while talking to Autocar.

    “As a rule, we don’t offer BMW M engines to third parties because we consider them such a strength of our cars. I think it would be a hard decision for a lot of the team to accept – particularly with the S58 being so new. Why would we sell it before we had a chance to use it ourselves in all the places we plan to?”

    Neither Toyota has approached BMW or BMW has approached Toyota about this offer but should it come to fruition, this would be the first BMW M engine to be put into a third party car since the McLaren F1 back in the 1990s.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
