Been researching the '21 Supra 3.0 and it looks like it got the best B58 available and Dyno figures are 388hp and 421tq at the wheels... Which is crazy, why Toyota is allowed to pump the power more on their cars when it's already hundreds of lbs lighter and also cheaper

I think that Toyota / BMW shared the cost for developing the engine so we both benefited from the partnership.

Look on the bright side, Toyota is famous for reliability so having their fingers in making the engine should actually makes us feel much better about the M340

If you’ve seen the “new” Supra interior, you will notice that it uses a previous gen BMW infotainment system. My guess is that’s not the only parts-bin stuff that BMW gave Toyota. It probably costs next to nothing to put that in this car.

Possibly but I wouldn't be buying the car for its upgraded infotainment system. A 50" height vs a 56" height yes
