First Ever Passenger ride in M4 GTS

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I was the competition winner who guessed the correct lap time for the M4 GTS around the Nurburgring Nordschleife with a time of 7.27.88

The prize was a lap on the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife (North Loop) in a BMW M4 GTS with BMW M engineer Joerg Weidinger

Sadly the set date for this I could not attend. Instead I was offered to take part in the BMW M Track Days 2016 in Barcelona at the Circuit De Catalunya, with the new BMW M2. Had a fantastic time with the BMW M Division who were excellent company.

I got to take an exclusive passenger ride in the M4 GTS around the Circuit de Catalunya with Claudia Hurtgen at the wheel. Wow. Incredible. I was lost for words this M4 GTS is so fast best M car car ever!

Enjoy the videos & pics

Wow, the car sounds REALLY good! That seemed like a hell of an awesome time, congrats!

I know it won't be anything like the GTS, but I'm really looking forward to my F80 CP now

Too bad you couldn't make it to the Ring, what an epic ride that would've been but at least the Barcelona event sounded like a good runner up, thanks for sharing! Did you see all the press there testing the cars?

Trip to the ring would have been amazing but I think two days in Barcelona and getting to drive lots of M cars including the new M2 was equally amazing to me!
Press day was last Monday, I was at the track the following day. I've been patiently waiting to upload my experience of the GTS but had to wait till today to share my experience
I really want an M car now

Cheers, do you know what color the CP car is? Looks too turquise-y to be LSB but maybe it's the lighting.

This does not seem to be a Competition Package M4, but rather a standard M4 with M-Performance parts including the MPE.

Great prize, very jealous and huge congrats!

Now...to business...I have an F80 CP on order, was that M4 a stock CP car? It sounded incredible....but the tips looked silver which made me think CP+MPE...?

That is clearly the MPE exhaust, not the performance package exhaust. You can tell by the exhaust tips and the sound, obviously.

Wow great prize , as said above those tail pipes on M4 with wing look like MPE? I never heard the burbles from the exhaust like CP unless it was just in sport mode , as a member said his CP with MPE only burbles on sport + mainly , still whatever sounds fantastic , just wonder if same alterations as on safety cars though would be good to find as I want that sound

Thanks again for posting this up

New Videos added to first post Including video of the M4 GTS Leaving the pits for the lap and its sounds so good!

Ok looks like i might have got confused with the M4 and if it had comp pack or not, more vids to follow of what i think are comp pack m3/m4s maybe other can clarify

Hope you enjoy the vids
Many Thanks
