Go outside people. Fresh air is good for you  |
For" some of us" it's the best of both worlds. E9X ///M's in the driveway and GT6 to sample select vehicles on various tracks.

"Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital has been steadily bridging the gap between what fans of racing games could consider simulation and what’s in an undergraduate engineering course. Gran Turismo 6 blurs the distinction even further by bringing both sides — the game maker and the car maker — together, and sooner than ever before."
"Making such an iconic model available "in-game" before its market launch reflects the mutual respect between BMW and Polyphony. “It is very exciting to virtually launch the BMW M4 Coupé in Gran Turismo 6,” explains Dr Friedrich Nitschke, President BMW M GmbH. “The BMW M4 Coupé takes motor sport technology from the race track to the road, and thousands of laps of the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife – the world’s most demanding race track – have readied the new model for that transition. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it looks and feels in Gran Turismo on the same circuit.”
The partnership is also a source of pride for president of Polyphony Digital, Kazunori Yamauchi: “It is always wonderful to be able to bring to life a brand new car and I would like to thank BMW for trusting us with all of the data we needed to create the BMW M4 Coupé at such an early stage. The car is fantastic. I felt very privileged to have a few laps around Ascari during the Gran Turismo 6 launch event and I am sure that Gran Turismo fans will now enjoy the same experience as well as the novelty of being among the first in the world to try the BMW M4 Coupé.”"
