Supra would be smaller and probably more fun to drive, better shifter too. M2 is more practical and have more technology plus a little more power. I am good with either one.

Any updates on when the next set of allocations are being released?

I'm sure the trolls will have lots of allegations over the next while. In terms of allocations, I have no idea

I can't accurately track allocations anymore. Before I could see the total number of M2s. Any increase meant allocations. Now that cars are selling the total number is unstable. Sorry everyone.

I thought the manual in Supra also was sourced from BMW? Would it really be that different?

We all really appreciate what you were able to provide the past few rounds. It was nice to have some hard data. So a sincere thanks for that.

I'm totally selfish. I did it all watching for my imaginary allocation 🤣

From Toyota - "Developed by Toyota GAZOO Racing Engineers in cooperation with Toyota Motor Europe and German transmission supplier ZF, the GR Supra's manual transmission was built with components designed specifically to suit the power and torque characteristics of its 3.0-liter 382-hp straight-six engine." They market it as Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) for its rev matching; not sure how or if it differs from BMW's version.

No offense but these posts should be moved to a new or appropriate existing thread.

That transmission in the link is a completely different ZF 6-speed for FWD / transverse engined Toyotas, not related to the GS6 ZF in the Supra or any of the GS6s used in BMWs.

Dunno I got a call to stop by, I didn't ask how they popped up if someone dropped out or if they got more... I guess I can text see if they will let me know.

Just as many already said he stated there should be more by end of the week next week and he was just going to put me in on those ones. Though he said it maybe one or it maybe 10 he didn't know.

I also asked him if they are using a bucket system why does it matter if more allocations come out. He schooled me a bit here; BMW says they can add X amount to the order bucket list along with all other dealers, once that order is picked up you get production numbers and date and the process begins. So its similar but it isn't as straight forward as it once was.
