M4 GTS is a piece of art, front hood is crazy.

The US set up is required by DOT because the euro configuration partially hides the rear window brake light.
It just takes a hex driver and 5 minutes to switch the winglets upside down.
First thing I did on mine.

Thanks for responding, so it's just the vertical end pieces that are inverted? not the whole four foot wide wing.

Thanks for all of the post guys, I have been swamped with work and personal stuff and had not had a chance to come to the forum.
Here are some responses to your posts.

I drove it down from Austin and crossed in the car to Nuevo Laredo Mexico and from there shipped it down to Mexico city enclosed trailer. Nothing crazy at all. It all went smooth surprisingly.

Yup hehe, although both are out of town probably for the next few months.

None taken. The 1M is a great car. If I found one well priced I would add it to my M car collection. I Like my GTS for what it is and got lucky to be able to acquire a second one.

Any time.... I usually track my cars at least every month with whom ever is putting together a track day at the track. Mainly with Edge Addicts. Or privately with a group of very close friends.

I would have probably bought E92 GTS If I was looking for it, but the second M4 GTS was just a good no hassel opportunity. I will possibly get something else down the road and keep my original M4GTS.

I do, I alternate between cars. But before the GTS arrived last year I was mainly driving the Speciale on track.

But what surprises me more is the 991 GT3 RS in that same category. With that in the garage, I have to question the two GTSs even more. I have yet to hear anybody choosing an F82 GTS over the GT3 RS.
But of course with proper funding available and enthusiasm for the ///M brand, anything is possible. If I had both, I just would doubt that the GTSs would get much track time. Obviously cost of tracking either doesn't seem to be the issue here.

Whatever it is, congrats on owning both.

Thanks man.
In regards to which one I prefer the question is not to hard to answer. I prefer my RS over all. As it is the better equipped track weapon. I think the GTS is wrongly compared with the RS it should be more in the range of the normal GT3. None the less, you a re right I'm a fan of the M brand and have always been, so for me the GTS is a great package from BMW. I try to use my cars evenly on track days. In some instances I have two cars on the same track day to have a back up car.
