I don't know if anyone here follows Supra forums like I do, but I will be very curious to see what that upcoming MT will be like. It is a ZF unit, adapted/upgraded from the MT in the European Z4. While it's bespoke to the Supra (at this time) it has a normal BMW transmission part number sequence. Since it mates up to the B58 in the Supra and has the required engine software to go along with it, technically it could go into any BMW with a B58 (or similar mounting/packaging requirements) with minimal engineering.

Being a different unit than what's in our M cars, and "supposedly" having some input from Toyota, I will be curious to see how the clutch and shifter behave and feel. I don't particularly care for the Supra, but it could be a compelling back door option to get a BMW 2-seat MT sports car that BMW itself doesn't offer in the US. I had zero interest in the automatic Supra, but MT has changed my mind a bit.
