Screw water injection. Just go straight to meth injection which is already available and much better than water.
The way I see it, even if you could retrofit the OEM water injection, the modification would void your warranty. So, why not just do meth injection and get substantially better gains. |

I know that new GTS will be brilliant car BUT... For me a limited edition GTS visually have to be more eye candy, thrilling to look at, and something that will seperated GTS from M4 - m performance parts(visually). Looking at the GTS test car, it just look as another m4 with front spliter, trunk spoiler and few carbon fiber tweaks. I am bmw fanboy, but cant support the path of last m3 gts, which is, for higher price you got not that much -at least visually. But on the another hand we got mercedes amg c63 black -car look way better then regular c63 and power upgrade is higher then in e92 m3 gts.
I hope that new m4 GTS will be more viually different then regular M4. Now hating can begin. 😁 |

The E92 M3 introduced the GTS model with a 4.4l v8, 6/4 pot brembos, special colour and wing.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3#E92_M3_GTS This is kinda a homage to the more famous CSL - which stands for "coupe sports light" - which the e92 m3 gts was not. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3#M3_CSL The e46 m3 csl was lighter, more powerful etc. it is an absolutely classic machine. Let's hope the new f80/82 m3/m4 gts is lighter though |
