The '''BMW Z4 (G29)''' is a two-door [[Roadster (automobile)|roadster]] produced by German automobile manufacturer [[BMW]]. It was introduced in 2018 as a successor to the [[BMW Z4 (E89)|E89 Z4]]. As a fifth model in the lineage, the Z4 (G29) marks the return of the soft-top roof to the [[BMW Z|Z Series sports cars]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bmwblog.com/2018/06/03/first-drive-new-bmw-g29-z4-m40i-in-pre-production-clothes/|title=FIRST DRIVE: New BMW G29 Z4 M40i in pre-production clothes|date=2018-06-03|work=BMW BLOG|access-date=2018-08-23|language=en-US}}</ref> |

The '''J29/DB Toyota Supra''', also known as the '''Toyota GR Supra''', is the fifth generation of the [[Toyota Supra|Supra]], a [[sports car]] produced by [[Toyota]] since 2019. The GR Supra was sold under and developed by Toyota's [[Gazoo Racing]] (GR) brand, in collaboration with [[BMW]], and replaces the [[Toyota Supra (A80)|A80 Supra]], which stopped production in 2002. The GR Supra rides on a new jointly-developed sports car platform by Toyota and BMW, with a short wheelbase, wide track, and low center of gravity, that also underpins the [[BMW Z4 (G29)|G29 BMW Z4]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/thrilling-design-2020-gr-supra-inherits-great-design-genes/|title = Thrilling by Design: The 2020 GR Supra Inherits Great Design Genes|date = 12 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/how-stalled-bmw-negotiations-nearly-killed-the-a90-toyota-supra/|title = How Stalled BMW Negotiations Nearly Killed the A90 Toyota Supra}}</ref> Initially, BMW considered using a pre-existing platform of their own to underpin the new Supra, to which chief engineer Tada-san declined.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/why-toyota-didnt-build-its-own-supra/|title = The real reason why Toyota didn't build its own Supra from the ground up|date = 31 May 2019}}</ref> Both cars are also manufactured at the [[Magna Steyr]] plant in [[Graz]], Austria.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1029652_toyota-supra-to-be-built-alongside-bmw-z4-at-austrian-plant| title = Toyota Supra to be built alongside BMW Z4 at Austrian plant| work = Motor Authority| date = 19 September 2018| accessdate = 30 October 2019| language = en}}</ref> |

The fifth-generation Supra uses BMW model code conventions, designated as a J29 series with DB model codes. However, Toyota used the "A90" and "A91" code for promotional and marketing materials for the fifth generation Supra to maintain continuity from previous Supra generations.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Brett |date=2017-08-10 |title=2018 'J29' Toyota Supra getting 20i, 30i, 40i BMW engines, auto only (video) |url=https://performancedrive.com.au/2018-j29-toyota-supra-getting-20i-30i-40i-bmw-engines-auto-video-1016/ |access-date=2020-02-14 |website=PerformanceDrive |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref name=":3" /> |

Designed by Australian born Calvin Luk, the car is based on the Z4 Concept unveiled a year earlier, and was developed alongside the [[Toyota Supra (J29/DB)|fifth-generation Toyota Supra]] due to BMW's partnership with [[Toyota]].

In 2010, Toyota applied for a trademark for the Supra name. The trademark had to be used within three years for it to be valid.<ref>{{cite web |last=Korzeniewski |first=Jeremy |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/30/report-toyota-secures-trademark-for-supra-name/ |title=Report: Toyota secures trademark for Supra name – Autoblog |publisher=Autoblog.com |date=30 July 2010 |accessdate=5 October 2010}}</ref> In December 2011, ''Autoguide'' reported a possible Supra replacement that would sit above the GT86.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2011/12/toyota-supra-successor-one-of-two-new-models-being-considered.html |title=Toyota Supra Successor One of Two New Models Being Considered |first=Jason |last=Siu |date=6 December 2011 |accessdate=12 November 2012}}</ref> [[Tetsuya Tada]], the chief engineer of the Toyota 86/Scion FR-S told reporters in Germany in 2012 "the president (Akio Toyoda) has asked me to make a successor to the Supra as soon as possible."<ref>{{cite web |last=Ee |first=Samuel |url=http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story/toyota-let-loose-two-more-sports-cars-after-86 |title=Report: Toyota to let loose two more sports cars after the 86 – AsiaOne |publisher=asiaone.com |date=13 November 2012 |accessdate=28 January 2014 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140220034044/http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story/toyota-let-loose-two-more-sports-cars-after-86 |archivedate=20 February 2014}}</ref> |

On March 11, 2022, Magna Steyr halted production of the BMW Z4 (along with the [[BMW 5-Series|5-Series]]) for two weeks due to the lack of components since the ongoing [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] event. |

In late 2013, ''AutoBlog'' reported a Supra successor concept would be making its debut the January 2014 [[North American International Auto Show#2014|North American International Auto Show]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Miersma |first=Seyth |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/06/toyota-supra-detroit-auto-show/ |title=Report: Toyota to shock with Supra concept for Detroit Auto Show? |publisher=autoblog.com |date=December 2013 |accessdate=27 January 2014}}</ref> On 13 January, Toyota unveiled its new [[Toyota FT-1|FT-1]] concept car. Little is known about this new concept car; other than that it has a front engine and rear wheel drive layout. Toyota also stated that their new concept car draws inspiration from Toyota's past sports cars like the [[Toyota 2000GT|2000GT]], Supra, [[Toyota MR2|MR-2]] and 2007 FT-HS concept car. Toyota did not state whether the FT-1 would use the Supra name, or if it was even bound for production. However, Toyota did state if the FT-1 is approved from production, a price tag of around {{USD|60,000}} was to be expected for each unit.<ref>{{cite web |last=Reynolds |first=Kim |url=http://www.motortrend.com/future/concept_vehicles/1403_toyota_ft_1_concept_first_look/ |title=Toyota FT-1 Concept First Look: Akio's Assault Vehicle: Futuristic Sports Car Melds F1 Influences With Supra Styling |publisher=motortrend.com |date=13 January 2014 |accessdate=27 January 2014}}</ref> Upon the car's reveal, chief designer—Nobuo Nakamura—confirmed that the FT-1's design was used for inspiration for the Supra but the two cars differ in many ways.

Power output testing by ''Car and Driver'' magazine in May 2019 and May 2020 showed that Toyota had significantly underrated the [[Horsepower|power output]] of both versions of the 3.0 L engine by at least 5-8 percent. The 2020 US model year B58 3.0 L engine was rated at {{cvt|335|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|365|lbft|order=flip|0}}, yet in [[dynamometer]] testing by ''Car and Driver'' magazine, the 2020 model year Supra had a power output of {{cvt|345|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|409|lbft|order=flip|0}} at the wheels. Similarly, the 2021 onwards model year engine was rated at {{cvt|382|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|368|lbft|order=flip|0}}, yet test results showed {{cvt|388|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|421|lbft|order=flip|0}} at the wheels. The power at the engine's [[crankshaft]] is the standardized calculation manufacturers use to rate engine power, therefore since a dynamometer measures these power outputs at the wheels, these figures are also typically 5-8 percent higher at the crankshaft on a modern performance car when accounting for [[Internal combustion engine#Parasitic loss|driveline loss]]. Car and Driver's testing therefore revealed that the Supra was making, at the very least, {{cvt|30|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} more power and {{cvt|40|lbft|order=flip|0}} more torque at the crankshaft than the factory claimed for both versions of the 3.0 engine, so the later 3.0 model is likely producing over {{cvt|410|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and over {{cvt|460|lbft|order=flip|0}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Beard |first=David |date=2019-05-22 |title=The 2020 Toyota Supra Makes More Power Than Toyota Claims |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27543113/2020-toyota-supra-dyno-horsepower/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=Car and Driver |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Beard |first=David |date=2020-05-13 |title=Dyno Tested: 2021 Toyota Supra Appears More Powerful Than 382-HP Rating |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a32461333/2021-toyota-supra-dyno-tested/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=Car and Driver |language=en-US}}</ref> |

=== Engineering === |

Before production, Toyota wanted to develop and engineer a rear-wheel drive pure sports car that would compete against the [[Porsche Boxster/Cayman#Fourth generation: 718 Boxster/Cayman (982) (2016–present)|Porsche Cayman S (982)]] and be a track and street weapon, all while avoiding supercar prices, while BMW wanted to build a roadster, which gave them the idea of co-developing an all-new platform that would handle both coupe and convertible variants with great rigidity and handling of torque. The platform takes few elements from BMW's M cars that were praised by both Toyota and BMW for their characteristics, such as the suspension design, forged control arms and electronic differential, all while being able to reduce costs for production and the final product.<ref name="Speed Academy">{{cite news |last=Pratte |first=Dave |date=30 May 2019 |title=The 2020 GR Supra Is A Lot More Toyota Than You Think |work=Speed Academy |url=http://speed.academy/the-2020-gr-supra-is-a-lot-more-toyota-than-you-think/ |access-date=10 September 2021}}</ref> After co-developing the platform together, Toyota and BMW went to develop the rest of the two cars separately, such as chassis development, exterior and interior designs, and tuning of both drivetrain and suspension.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-05-30 |title=The 2020 GR Supra Is A Lot More Toyota Than You Think |url=http://speed.academy/the-2020-gr-supra-is-a-lot-more-toyota-than-you-think/ |access-date=2023-01-16 |website=Speed Academy |language=en-US}}</ref> For example, on the Supra, the side sills are significantly wider and stiffer, there is more chassis bracing, and Toyota initiated an engineering change to move the engine backwards in the engine bay for better weight distribution.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-05-30 |title=The 2020 GR Supra Is A Lot More Toyota Than You Think |url=http://speed.academy/the-2020-gr-supra-is-a-lot-more-toyota-than-you-think/ |access-date=2023-01-16 |website=Speed Academy |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":9" /> The fake vents on the car's exterior were also leftovers from its race car prototype, and were designed for the aftermarket car community (who were responsible for the previous generation's cult following) to make them functional.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Toyota Supra's Blocked-Off Air Vents Can Be Made Functional, Says the Chief Engineer |url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-shows/detroit-auto-show/a25904043/2020-toyota-supra-air-vents-functional/}}</ref> |

In 2020, for the 2021 model year, two new models, the A91 Edition and the 2.0, was introduced. For the 3.0, 3.0 Premium, and A91 Edition, the output of the 3-litre engine was increased to {{cvt|382|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|368|lbft|Nm|0|order=flip}} of torque. This increase in power is due to revised engine tuning, 10.2:1 compression ratio, and a six-port cylinder head and six-port turbo manifold, as opposed to the 11:1 compression ratio, two-port version for the 2020 model year. Additionally for the 2021 model year, the rear suspension bushings were updated and chassis stiffening bars were added to the engine bay. The 2.0 will feature the same 2-litre engine used in the SZ and SZ-R models sold in Japan, and is rated at {{cvt|255|hp|kW|order=flip|0}} and {{cvt|295 |lbft|Nm|0|order=flip}} of torque.<ref name=":5" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-02-13 |title=Toyota GR Supra Races Into 2021 with More Power and First-Ever Four-Cylinder Turbo Model |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-gr-supra-races-into-2021-with-more-power-and-first-ever-four-cylinder-turbo-model/ |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Toyota USA Newsroom |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-06-17 |title=2021 Toyota GR Supra Hits the Streets with More Power, A91 Edition and First-Ever Four-Cylinder Turbo Model |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/2021-toyota-gr-supra-hits-the-streets-with-more-power-a91-edition-and-first-ever-four-cylinder-turbo-model/ |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Toyota USA Newsroom |language=en-US}}</ref> |

Predecessor | BMW Z4 (E89) |
The BMW Z4 (G29) is a two-door roadster produced by German automobile manufacturer BMW. It was introduced in 2018 as a successor to the E89 Z4. As a fifth model in the lineage, the Z4 (G29) marks the return of the soft-top roof to the Z Series sports cars.[5]
Development and launch
The G29 Z4 was introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 23, 2018.[6]
Designed by Australian born Calvin Luk, the car is based on the Z4 Concept unveiled a year earlier, and was developed alongside the fifth-generation Toyota Supra due to BMW's partnership with Toyota. The design was inspired by the Z8.[4][7] The G29 Z4 is based on the Toyota-BMW joint sports car architecture which also underpins the fifth-generation Supra and has a 50:50 weight distribution with weight savings of up to 50 kg (110 lb) as compared to its predecessor.[8] The soft-top convertible roof returned on the Z4 (G29) instead of a retractable hardtop of its predecessor. The roof can be raised or lowered in 10 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph).[9] The boot is 50% larger than that of its predecessor and has a capacity of 281 litres (9.9 cu ft).[10] It uses a multi-link rear suspension.[11]
The official launch of the G29 Z4 took place at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October. The car was available for sale in March 2019.[12]
On March 11, 2022, Magna Steyr halted production of the BMW Z4 (along with the 5-Series) for two weeks due to the lack of components since the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine event.
Equipment
The sDrive models are available in a Sport line or the M Sport package.[13] Available driver assistance systems include active cruise control, lane change warning system, a parking assistant, and collision warning with braking intervention.[14]
The Z4 is offered with a 10.25-inch display with the iDrive 7.0.[15] The car is available with BMW ConnectedDrive services which allow for over-the-air updates for the navigation maps and operating system.[16] The digital key feature allows the car to be unlocked and started with a smartphone,[17] and access can be shared with other people. It is also available with a customisable, digital instrument cluster (called BMW Live Cockpit Professional).[18]
Models
The launch model was the M40i First Edition which has Frozen Orange metallic paintwork and Vernasca leather, 19-inch alloy wheels, adaptive dampers, a Harman Kardon surround sound system and a head-up display.[19]
The Z4 range consists of the sDrive 20i which is only available in Europe, the sDrive 30i and the range topping M40i models. The sDrive models are powered by the 2.0-litre B48 straight-4 engine while the M40i is powered by the B58 straight-6 engine. All engines come with forced induction and are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.[20][21] A 6-speed manual transmission was made available for only the sDrive 20i from July 2019.[4]
