I'd really like to know why the hell BMW are not able to engineer them seats better.

I think some markets in Europe don't even get manual seats while some do, even the civics.
In North America (Canada & USA), the electric seats comes also standard with the manual seats not even offered. I believe the M4 can be had with manual seats only in very few markets.

Similar situation in the UK. Electric seats are standard with no manual option.

You are right about the 763M but they are still only 9" and 10" versus the DTM and GTS with 9.5" and 10.5" wheels which was my reasoning for picking them. The carbon 681Ms are a bit lighter still but too expensive compared to FI-Rs

IMO, they should have made the 763M in 9.5" and 10.5" size.

His definition of the CS is an M4 closer to the GTS without being as unforgiving. But, isn't the CS supposed to be closer to the GTS than a regular M4 while compromising on the comforts of the latter? At least that's what I got from the car. GTS hood, splitter, lighter wheels, grippier tires, those seats, etc. It feels like it supposed to be a more track ready car than a regular M4. So I don't understand why he's complaining about the lack of an armrest and meatier steering wheel. The only points where I feel the car says otherwise is the lack of a manual and CC brakes as standard. But, hey this is today's BMW- everything is a pricy option and to hell with the enthusiasts

Water injection engine with 500hp
GTC/CS Bonnet
CS lower front bumper lip and rear lip (you could make GTS parts optional easily I feel)
GTS Suspension
Grey 666m wheels from the DTM edition <- The 763M are the lightest wheel yet
DTM front canards and side skirts
Titanium exhaust
Rear diffuser from DTM/GTS/CS
Normal door cards, centre console etc from normal M4
Nobody cares about the tail lights
I do agree with most point above. They should have kept more of the performance elements of the GTS while retaining more of the DD practical elements of the M4 CP.
yea, when ur spending that much cheddah and its not limited edition (which i dont care abt actually) and doesnt have big performance focused elements that make a major jump, feels like a rip...

£89K This car will be like $110K US.


If it's £30K pounds more ..'it will be at least $35K more than the base M4.

"Really" x 1,000.

Fun watch. Good to see someone's feedback who had experience with an original M4.

The car is great looking. I also would have preferred the standard M4 interior.

Did no one else pucker their rear end a little bit when he pushed on the hood and it flexed?

The color is beautiful though!

You can get a great handling car without the ride being bumpy.

Have you heard of Ohlins R&T vs KW CS?

I was seriously considering this car but if Im paying a $100K for car that can't put the power down, I might as well get a ZO6. At least that car has a better stability /traction control management. I drive my M4 with all electronics off because even the euro traction Controll is too intrusive. it's nice to have a system that lets you have some fun. Other manufacturers are way ahead of BMW in this area. HP levels are rising for all the cars. Whoever has the best Traction / stability management will win. I know some purists will object but it is inevitable that electronics will help us drive better and faster in the future.
