I don't think a Supra with an S58 is going to be half price as the engine upgrade will likely be accompanied by other additions such as larger brakes, suspension changes, etc which will bump the price of the car accordingly. Would be similar to the current M2C and M4 price gap. The M4 will still offer higher tech, nicer interior, AWD, rear seats, etc. I'm skeptical that an S58 powered Supra is coming any time soon so I don't think there's a lot to worry about. People have to remember BMW isn't making these cars for Toyota out of kindness as they get a piece of the pie as well so it's in their best interests to see that this venture is fruitful for both parties.
