It’s unlikely that the average Hooniverse reader is unaware that there is a new Toyota Supra and a new BMW Z4 for 2020. Nor is it a stretch to say that you all likely know that the cars are built from the same G29 BMW platform. However, most people have probably not had the chance…

They still occasionally toss out that “Ultimate Driving Machine” but their lineup suggests they should consider going with something else. Still, there are a few models that pop up and seem poised to stir the soul. The M4 is such a car. Is…
