It's the same thing they did with that POS BRZ/GT/FR-S.
It's like Toyota has lost the ability to engineer their own engines. If I'm going to buy a Supra or a GT86 it's because of the originals. You can put Yota badges on a BRZ but the motor still has Subaru stamped on it. It's like pandering, using these car names that people know and love and sticking them on garbage.
A supra built by BMW is still going to be BMW trash. If you have ever tried to work on, or buy replacement parts from BMW you will know what I mean. Forget it. there will be huge sticker price because Euro import tax is higher, some specialty washer on the motor that you can only get from BMW for $250, and they will be run through in 100k miles. Oh and piss poor resale value.
Sorry, got a little ranty there...

You need to put down the crack pipe. If the car is sold at a Toyota dealership, you will easily get parts for the engine, no matter what. And since when is BMW trash? Just because you can't afford to buy or maintain a BMW, doesn't constitute it as being garbage?
It's not like Toyota went over to BMW and said "give me 20,000 units of this engine, stat!" I'm sure Toyota went over the design with a fine tooth comb to ensure it meets their standards for longevity. Just because it was designed and potentially even built by BMW, doesn't mean ****.
