The starting price for the

2020 BMW Z4

just leaked online to the

SupraMkV forum

, courtesy of what appear to be some

dealer

documents detailing standard features and price. It will reportedly start at $64,695, or $65,690 after you tack on the destination charge. This places the

Z4

firmly into

Porsche

territory as the base

718 Boxster

starts at $60,050, while the

Boxster

S goes from $72,450. However, the Z4 does have two extra cylinders and more power than either of those mid-engine Germans.

It’s not particularly surprising to see the Z4 priced this steep, but there are a few other high performance

BMWs

in this exact price bracket already. The

M3

starts at $67,495 and the

M4

at $70,145. Granted the Z4 M40i isn’t a true M performance car, but that still doesn’t look like an easy decision to make at the BMW dealer now. To make your choice even tougher, the

M2 Competition

is starting to look like a real bargain at $59,895.

The big question in all of this is deciphering what it means for the long-awaited

Toyota

version of this car,

the Supra

. We’d expect a heavy price chop with it being a non-luxury brand vehicle, but it’s still tough to tell where Toyota might land on this one. A base price in the $40,000 range would seem reasonable, and even cheap compared to its platform mate. It’s hard to imagine many Z4s will be much cheaper than $70,000 with how BMW organizes its options. Official pricing for the various trim levels and packages BMW plans to offer with the Z4 shouldn’t be too far out, now that the base price has leaked. There isn’t an on-sale date with any more detail than spring 2019 available as of now. For the full low-down on the car,

In other recent news on the Z4/Supra twins, Toyota said it’s

showing us the Supra

at the

Detroit Auto Show

in January, where we’ll finally get to see how these two compare in production form.
