A Supra with a BMW engine and drive train. What the heck. I can already guess VK's comment:

Such a shame Toyota can't build their own Supra.

Also a shame that BMW can't be bothered to make a proper sports car without getting funding from the likes of Toyota

Just put double wish bones and a V8 in the Z4. It's a good chassis they'd have a world beater.
