Cool Toyota/BMW partnership... New car?

Ok so I was thinking about buying the Toyota/Scion FRS as a second fun car since i need my 135i for my work. I sell houses in LA and don't need to come off as a kid who likes street racing. That being said i fell hard for that little subaru engine. I was curious if there is any news about what Toyota and BMW are doing in terms of possibly replacing the FRS/BRZ with something with a German engine...any news on that? Would be much better to wait imo. The boxer engine is incredibly fun but I'm sure BMW could make something with a bit more umph.

I heard toyota is aiming for the new supra and bmw for the new Z. Its just a rumor though, they are working together but it is not official that they are making a car together. + I dont think it is going to replace the frs/brz price range, its going to be def up there.

The partnership will likely yield a successor to the Z4 and Supra. Probably a hybrid.
