The B58 version in the Euro Z4 M40i and Supra are just different. I think it's mostly due to tuning, but there are some B58 versions with different parts. For instance, the earlier 320hp versions of the motor did not have the head-integrated exhaust manifold that more modern versions do.
Yea I never understood why Euro Z4 M40 was underpowered when the new M340i did not have the same problem with GPF. There might be commercial reasons.
