Multiple BMW owner here, over a dozen of 'em, going back to the E43 days. We picked up a Supra 3.0 Premium last fall. Almost 6000 miles on it now, it's my DD.
Fantastic car, period. The few things that folks complain about (visibility, buffeting, egress) are non-issues now. I find the visibility great, actually, compared to many other sports cars I've owned. As mentionned, the windows-down buffeting is an easy fix, problem solved. If I had to pick one thing I like most about the Supra is that it comes from the factory fully-loaded. You don't get nickeled and dimed for every option, like most other BMWs. The only factory option on the 3.0 Premium is the Driver's Assitance Package, and that's ridiculously cheap for what you get compared to BMW pricing. Great value, fantastic car, reliable, and a blast to drive. Highly recommended. |

Solution is an overlay on the mirror pillar which redirects airflow from the open window. Yes, it's installed in the pic above. Here's a closeup.

The only other element that was less-than-stellar was the steering wheel. Here's an easily-found replacement, which puts the final touch on an otherwise fantastic cockpit.

not sure how big of an issue this is, but the nurburgring guys have made a few videos about the bump steer, how it ruins the car, and eventually altered the suspension to fix it. Probably a non-issue for street usage i'd imagine.

I don't understand why they're using a MASSIVE airbag that looks like a relic from a '90s Ford. Hopefully no Takata components behind that giant frisbee.

i think part of the reason it looks bad is because they dropped the FT1 first... and then the actual car looks like some half assed attempt at recreating it. Its like seeing an F80 M3, then they give you a 330i in real life.
meanwhile the lexus lc500 looks 99% like the concept

It is nowhere NEAR as pronounced as these guys make it seem for 99.99% of drivers. I think their problem was that they're renting the car out to people that are taking the car on the Nurburgring where some braking zone could see the car from 160 to 20? How it felt for me was a small twitch in steering. That's it
