Mini? Supra?
Can't fit in a Supra man....So yeah the Maxi JCW Countryman. Reminds me of a heavy Evo...which I still miss.

Oh nice so you got the high output B48 at 312hp too.

Actually it's a '24 as I didn't like the next '25 look.
So output is 301 but torque is 331 with an 8-speed auto.
The '25 model had to de-rate cuz of the DCT.
Back in the day it took a trip to Hayward so Bryan could tickle the 4G63 to get those numbers.

It is not. It's a 330i Xdrive M Sport. So B48 turbo 4cyl but the suspension, front/rear bumpers, and interior are the same as the M340i. I would have loved another B58 but it didn't really make financial sense. M340i's were $10-15k more.

One of the big reasons I picked one up is almost all my Supra take-offs fit. I just put my OEM supra wheels on the 330i. 19x9/19x10 with 275/35/19 rear and 245/40/19 front to keep Xdrive happy.



Looks good. Do you miss the Evo minus the drama it caused? Seems like this filled the void of having a 4 cylinder AWD turbo car in your life .

I don't miss my Evos surprisingly. Supra is better for what I used/use them for. I've had a AWD 4 Cyl turbo VW since 2018 so always had one but my wife basically took it over the last couple years. The 330i is all mine.

Long time no update from me. Supra is still doing great. No new upgrades. Joined a new series this year and have been dominating. Round 3 is coming up in May @ Laguna Seca.

someone offered me an Evo X trade for my turbo miata... if it was a GSR I prolly would have done it but it was an MR. I kinda miss my Evo, and really regret never taking it to the track

I've been seriously considering buying a Supra before production ends. I've been so busy with the new kid that I haven't thought about it for a while.

Now we're looking at 25% tariffs on imported vehicles. Assuming that holds, prices are about to go up a lot.

That doesn't look like an OEM turbo compressor, remind me what that was you had in there.
