Enjoying my new M4 GTS

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 08:08 AM

I purchased my new M4 GTS last week and really enjoy the car. It is my first BMW, and I love the feel on the road. It is a bit of a harsh ride on local roads, but the feel, sound, and performance are exceptional.

Was this the one BMW of Ridgefield had on the floor? Very nice - enjoy!

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 08:28 AM

That it is. Are you local to me?

jpdchicago · 08-25-2017, 08:31 AM

Congrats!
Way to go for your first BMW!
The more you drive it, the more you will enjoy it. I don't even notice the occasional bad surfaces any more. Just having a blast every day!
The sound and the sensations are addicting...

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 08:34 AM

I see yours is white, It looks great. The Mineral Grey Metallic on mine is a bit low key but the wheels make it pop. How many miles do you have on your?

jpdchicago · 08-25-2017, 08:41 AM

Thanks.
About 2,500 miles now. Not a long commute but a really fun one and occasional trip from Chicago to Milwaukee (I know exactly where the radars are located- it helps

Also love sport+and windows open!

I'm in Fairfield, but I go to Ridgefield for service. No gts for me though - just your run of the mill M4.

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 08:47 AM

I think they were anxious to see the tail lights leaving the parking lot.

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 08:48 AM

Sport plus is a bit throttle sensitive for the street. Do you feel the same?

I find Sport + way too touchy for street driving. I rarely use it.

Nice purchase BTW. You will love it

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 09:05 AM

Thanks,I already am. A lot different than my other cars

I use it in sport + all the time for the commute (steering in sport), unless I am stuck in traffic. MDM on. Not brave enough to shut off all the nannies at this point.
You do get used to moderate throttle input with some practice. Big difference in sound in sport +.

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 09:43 AM

I do like the sound and I will get used to it over time. I'm still trying out all the variations. If it was up to my wife it would be efficient operation at all times. She cant understand why I would want to paddle shift the car.

jeff@autocouture · 08-25-2017, 10:15 AM

Someone bought this! ill miss seeing it on my visits there lol, beautiful car and glad someone picked it up!

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 10:43 AM

Thank you

robbys3m3 · 08-25-2017, 10:47 AM

very nice, enjoy!

jpdchicago · 08-25-2017, 11:06 AM

Looks like only 25 new ones left in the US. Sold out anywhere else in the world.
All other ones are resale, even with low miles.
Good timing.
Once they are gone, they are gone for good as a one owner car...

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 11:12 AM

and on MSO. But I typically never sell my cars.

VCP · 08-25-2017, 11:16 AM

Yup it is all about throttle execution

I can see that. Impressive garage list.
Congrats again. You are going to love it!

Gabe@TAG · 08-25-2017, 11:32 AM

Looking stellar. Can’t wait for accidental pics of the Ford GT though

Jet55 · 08-25-2017, 11:57 AM

I will post some of the Ford Gt. It will always be my favorite. I am awaiting a new one but I was deferred. I can always hope.
