I agree but would add the e92 GTS to this list purely because of that amazing stroked 4.4L s65

I'll counter that the current gen 'verts actually look pretty good with the top down. The previous model i would say did not. Top up they do look odd.

Semantics. A change in nomenclature doesn’t change the DNA of the car nor its historical relevance. It’s all marketing to a large degree.
Have you seen the 6 series GT?

The reason its a convertible is that this year is the 30th anniversary of the M3 convertible (1988 - 2018, as the press release mentions). Although the name changed to M4, they wanted to celebrate the form factor.

With the 30th anniversary M3 a couple years ago, they chose the sedan to celebrate the anniversary of the nameplate instead of choosing the coupe to celebrate the anniversary of the two-door form factor. As such, there will be no 30th anniversary M4 coupe.

Maybe there's more parts to get rid of @ the end of the life cycle?

Whenever you start seeing these stupid "special editions", you know you're nearing the end of production for something.

I don't necessarily agree, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

I just wanted to clear up the reason why BMW chose the F83 for this special edition model.

Yup and why I turned down my M4 GTS after thinking it over lmao.

Limited edition this, limited edition that lol

Make an M4, an m4 LCI with competition package, and the GTS and close out its life cycle might have actually meant something lol... Nothing special about it now lol.
