  1. The six-cylinder will be 50:50. About two thirds of the engine is behind the front axle.
  2. The B58 for this project was benchmarked against Porsche's flat-6 N/A motor from the previous-gen Cayman/Boxster for response, so you can expect it's really rather good.
  3. Keep it civil, kids. Nice car. Good luck with the sale.
  4. Can you get Adrian at Fensport to come to you and have a look? They're pretty local.
  5. The BRZ has softer rear suspension so it's less tail-happy and hence safer than the 86 - especially in the wet or snow. I'd imagine there's also the factor that you're more likely to take care of a BRZ, given you'd need a reason to buy one over the Toyota with its larger dealer network and cheaper finance options. It appeals to enthusiasts fractionally more, in other words. We've just bought a BRZ. Fabulous car
  6. It'll probably look crap. Just look at modern Alfas with UK plates. A joke.
  7. Strongly suspect we'll know more before Z4 launches properly in October, and yes, the platform has been designed around 50:50 distribution.
  8. Sorry I missed this. I've been categorically told there will be no Z4 M, but the Toyota situation is still unclear. I think they'll position it higher, with a halo version at the top end that could easily make use of the M3 motor. That's just speculation, though.
  9. Well, I've yet to see the cabin or use the new iDrive system as that was all covered up. Found the handling was incredible, but there's definitely room for improvement because it's a roadster, so there is a slight wobble if you hit a bump mid-bend. I also found it could do with about another 50hp. But you probably don't need​ that.
  10. Yes, I did see the engine. Not sure how circa 360hp is underpowered, though. And it's entirely likely the Supra will be a harder-edged car than the Z4 anyway, I'd say. Certainly feels like it could be quite different with a roof. Like a Cayman to a Boxster.
  11. It's the B58 motor from the M2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_B58 I've seen the car, yes. It's far more aggressive than the previous one. Looks great. Closer to BPU to be honest. But it's not all about straight-line performance.
  12. Been itching to tell you lot about this. I drove the Z4 (which is basically a convertible version of the new Supra) a little while ago: https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/bmw/bmw-z4-2019-review/ Post your questions!

    scam ?

    It's pretty brazen if you ask me. Works, though, shockingly enough.

    scam ?

    Known scam. They'll talk you into installing malware.
  15. What affiliation do you have to these 'PB' people please?
  16. Must be your amiable mannerisms during online communication.
  17. Not the first time we've had pictures of members with their snake out on here.
  18. This is why the GT86/BRZ is the best sports car you can buy in the UK right now.
  19. I'll report back. I know who bought it...
  20. Two very different takes on 'club spirit' here... by which I mean rider doesn't really know what that means. Nice one, Jellybean.
