the hp numbers are within line with other b58 dynos. main difference is the huge tq numbers. I bet the supra uses the same high output b58 variant that the z4 does. It would cost more money for bmw and toyota to make two different variants of the b58.

its probably the same engine and BMW just had toyota pull some timing to lower the hp numbers. usually when you see that kind of difference between whp and wtq its because of higher boost and low timing or a really low reving engine like a diesel.
