The aftermarket can beat that and then some on BMW inline turbo 6's. Easily. It is that warranty part that gets the extra coin.

this is such a disingenuous statement, imo. You can get 47hp+ for an m5 for less than $2k, do you really think this is a good idea? As a percentage it results in an abnormal number of blown engines and at $65k a pop for a new engine...saying it’s less than $2k isn’t factoring in the TCO of aftermarket crap. You know this is true and literally say it on the next statement why say the first statement?

also manufacturers give the warranty with the extra hp because they have calculated, in volume it won’t cost them more in broken things. You know aftermarket companies have no way to do this with their paltry volume.

How is it disingenuous? The poster was simply counteracting that you can get more than 47 hp for less than $2k. Both acknowledged the warranty aspect.

The want is strong. These things look fantastic in person. Easily the best looking $50k or less sports car on the market today.

Yeah, I thought that part was pretty clear. I can get an $800 tune on a 4 cylinder Golf R (or GTI) that will give a bit more than 47hp and have been proven reliable all day long. I don't know why the same would not be possible on a 3.0 liter 6 with a couple extra pounds of boost. There are at least half a dozen tuners here and in Germany that specialize in tuning BMW inline 6's. I was not being disingenuous in the least. It was a factual statement.

Agreed

Say Chi Sin Lo

For me, +47hp, no fuss about figuring out how to install the parts (or a tune), plus a factory warranty is well worth the +$2,000 on what is considered as a premium car.

My R was quick. It would have definitely hurt some 2020 Supra owner's feelings. I think we'll see some 20's sitting for a while longer and the offers will keep coming. 0% and 10k off? That's even better. Burger Tuning has a JB4 setup for the Supra that adds 80ish Hp. I think that might be worthwhile.

I'm stil waiting for the enthusiast market to tank so I can replace my R with an RS3 though.

Didn't Chevy do something similar with the C7? Like massive price drop or something after the 2nd year?

Agreed. In photos it just doesn't look that good but in person, it's very striking. A guy in a nearby neighbourhood has a dark blue one and it looks fantastic with the darker wheels. Very sexy!
