well it doesn't say what versions we are comparing.
if the z4 m40i is 3300 lbs and the supra the B48 2.0 t version is 3100lbs, that would be 200 lbs and be believable |
Yeah, it's possible. But we keep seeing 3,400 for the Z4 and 3,050 for the Supra. The E89 only had a delta of 230 pounds between the N20 and the N54. For reference the B48 is heavier than the N20 and the B58 is lighter than the N54. Some of the weight difference of the Z4 models was also from things that likely won't fly with the Supra, like smaller brakes, smaller wheels, etc that the 4 banger Supra likely won't compromise.
I remain skeptical that any Supra will be under 3,150 or so and that the US version will be meaningfully under 3,300 pounds.
