Maybe now a simple bolt from BMW won't cost 3 times as much as the same one from Japan :-)

If its anything like how the BRZ program went. BMW will do 99% of the engineering. Meanwhile Toyota will do enough of the styling to feel like they did something. Oh yeah and Toyota will pay for it. I am actually moderately excited about this.

doesn't matter. i don't anything on a bmw be in a toyota parts catalog. LOL then i would go buy a lexus.

If the stories are true, BMW is also looking into a partnership with one of the French car manufacturers. And they're also looking into taking over a Dutch carplant to build BMW's there as well.

In the end, I'm sure it's still BMW that is producing it's own cars, and Toyota their own as well. They're just sharing technologies, which can only lead to better things imo.
