Awesome build!

Always been wanting to ask. What are the pros and cons when converting the rear to coilover? Even the GT4 isn't coilover rear. (Edit: this turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part, but the main question remains)

Also be aware that the GT4 has the option to run the M6 DCT cooler. I think they call it endurance spec. It might be worth considering depending on your climate. When stock M4s overheat at my local track it is always due to the DCT afaik. I also saw an M4 GT4 race car locally where the team had actually added an oil cooler to the diff.

The M4 GT4 does run an Ohlins TTX coilover setup in the rear. Realoem.com even shows the spring is concentric with the damper:

Search this website
https://www.apmotorsport.co.uk/m4-gt4-info
and you’ll see all of the GT4 parts available for purchase. Basically, most bolt-on parts are available; however, they are not inexpensive. I believe Classic BMW is the main US dealership that sells GT4 parts.

for sure you will want a diff cooler in any M car if you're running extended sessions

for the DCT cooler, I would wait until do88 released one, it's been well proven on the E9X platform
