The one I test drove was navy blue and msrped at 56k but “they were willing to work with me” because they needed to move inventory for the new upcoming model. I drove it & wasn’t particularly impressed . The cabin felt small and cramped. The pillars made it hard to see from the corners and I’m only 5’7 and felt that anyone over 6’2 was going to have a hard time not bumping their heads on the roof. The car was agile but lacked the oomph that I get in my n54 e92. In non sport it feels like you’re driving a Camry. Nothing special. Anyways I didn’t push the car too hard because the salesman who got in the car with me happened to be a woman lol but she could tell I wasn’t impressed. They tried to convince me that adding a flash and a pedal tuner would transform the car but I want something that’s fun to drive right out the box. For a 2 door car with 2 seats, the Supra would only be an attractive option if it was priced at around 43-45k, and at its current price point just doesn’t offer enough to justify that tag.

You’re just paying for the Supra name at that point. It’s an m240i with 2 less seats and branded Toyota

So the Supra "lacked oomph" "feels like you're driving a Camry" and not fun to drive out of the box and it's merely "an M240i with 2 less seats." Is that what you think how the M240i drives as well?
And in response to finding a "$43-45k" comparable car, you named used cars (new and used are apples and oranges!) and then when pressed you named Q60 and RC which are larger cruisers than sports cars. With due respect, are you sure you know what you're talking about?
