More bracing for the open top adds weight
Top mechanism adds weight

Not to mention more sound proofing and other luxury touches

If the Supra wasn't faster that would not make sense
They weigh about the same it's not the weight difference it's the power difference. This is a Euro spec Z4 that has less power than the US spec. That's why the Supra won.
The weight isn't as close as they pretended it was.... maybe in stripper form but loaded up m40i will be a lot heavier.... they didn't put both cars on a scale... this is a clickbait video after all...

I do enjoy the vids from an entertainment point of view

Bmw did not let Toyota tune b58 differently this has been confirmed by many insiders even though some media claim say they did
