Does no one get tired of the drifting? It almost gets pathetic after a while.

And for the love of all that is sacred, please, stop showing footage of a car braking and drifting, matched to a soundtrack of a car accelerating and up-shifting! Not cool. Not professional. Not at this level. Where's your game BMW?

you are all serious as if ike they actually need the video to promote it..

Agree with you that the incongruent sounds was very sloppy.

only 30 for the UK.. and the US gets 300.. ouch

THANK YOU! You both put it much better. Totally agree!

Since it is 0-62 mph in the video it is 0.3s quicker according to BMWs own numbers.

It is 0.4 seconds faster than the standard m4. As a m4 is 4.1 0-62mph. 3.9 to 60mph. So my guess is the m4gts would be 3.5 0-60mph.

I am sure it won't make a different to you but you did know that the time was listed as 0-62....right ?

According to the press release and BMW ///M website, the M4 GTS needs 3.7s to 60mph and 3.8s to 100km/h (62mph). That is 0.2s and 0.3s quicker respectively than the official numbers for the DCT M4.

I like screamers not snarlers. BMW throws everything they got at this thing, limits production, makes it big $ and it will still get its clock cleaned by the ZO6's GTR's and GT3's of this world. Did I mention it snarls? Next.

I don't get why everyone hates on the wing. While I think the 4xx/m4 looks better without the wing, the goal of the gts is not to be the best looking car in the world...its to get around a track faster then the next guy. And one of the easiest ways to do that is to add a big wing.

It is 3 tenth quicker! They show the 0 - 62 time, the normal car does that in 4.1 seconds.
This is a very impressive 0 - 62 which it would even be for an awd, 0 - 60 would be 3.6 seconds. But hey, who cars about those small differences? This thing will be a Beast on any track!
