BMW M4 GTS on Air Suspension - Disgusting

Why would you do this to a track car? Just buy a normal m4 to do that to it. I hope bmw refuses to let him buy limited edition bmws.

True, but whats the purpose of buying a track focused car to slam it to the ground? Leave it to a true car enthusiast who will use it for its purpose. Imagine someone buying a 911 GT3 to daily it to work/grocery getter.

Do we have any proof that this is not just someone who bought the GTS lip and GTS OLED taillights?

I see no badge on the boot and the rear spoiler is even different.

The bonnet is also gts?
His/her money, their choice but I'm not a fan. I've seen a pimped and blinged up Lotus Exige so track cars are definitely not 'safe' .

I think many people who bought track cars just for the looks and some do track few times.

How many people was on 128gb iphone and left it with 100gb free on the phone?

They bought it because they can.

PS. I also think that BMW dont even care how the cars will be used as long as they can be sold.

Not much of a problem with 991.1 GT3/RS as they all have PDK and most buyers optioned the front axle lift system. Only if you can take the stiff ride though. However, many of those fantastic machines ended up in the hands of brokers and greedy dealers, so they'd probably never being able to serve the track duty for what they are really built for. Such a shame isn't it.

I know that. But thats not its purpose. I have a 675LT which i drive every 2-3 days to appreciate what its for. I didnt slam it do the ground and i dont use it to get groceries because i have a S63 amg and raptor for that.

I agree, those slammed look set-ups are hideous but that being said I would use a GT 3 and a 675LT to get groceries. Why the hell not?

One would think the car would be more fun "slammed" on its oem coilovers. That's what gets me confused. OK I get it.. so there is street cred for the air ride theme but that wears off quickly. Eventually you would want to go fast in that.

Not my cup of tea at all, let him burn his money they way he wants. But I would never do that to a GTS. To each his own. Let alone how does one try to sell it in the future since it has been modified like this?

Definitely not something I'd do to my GTS but I have seen this car in person and it looks pretty cool to say the least.

Took out that expensive coilover system to replace it with shitty rubber bags.

What's next? Hydraulic like low riders bouncing up and down? What a total waste of a perfectly good car
