Trading in my M4 Comp for a GTS

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hey guys I'm thinking about trading in my 18 M4 Comp for a GTS for better track performance. The car is not my daily. I got a pretty good deal on the GTS(only 3000 miles) and would be paying 25k to get my 25k miles M4C swapped. Do you guys think it worth it?

Definitely!
Much more fun to drive and raw experience than the M4C and a real track weapon once you set it up correctly.
I use mine almost daily in the spring and summer (X3M competition as a daily) and I have a blast every single time.
An added bonus is that the M4 gts has already bottomed up and will probably maintain its value going forward...

Track for sure, daily not my taste. Other than the OLEDs and neat half cage, I prefer the non-GTS M4s for looks. The GTS wing, lip, funky orange accents, bleh. No fun colors either.

But track of course GTS.

Feels like a rhetorical question. Enjoy the GTS, it's many many times a M4 (comp or not).

Not sure if you pulled the tigger or not but I would definitely go for it. I was in the same boat you are now a couple years ago. When the GTS was announced I really wanted one. My dealer couldn't get an allocation, so I moved on to some other cars but always had a GTS in the back of my mind. I finally pulled the trigger on a FDG GTS in August and it was one of my better car finds. I have a 991.1 GT3 as well and the comparisons you'll read on here about "it being no where near a GT3" are correct, but it is priced accordingly today. These cars are a steal in the mid 70s - mid 80 range. If I dealership can sell a comp M4 loaded for in the 90s, then the GTS is surely worth what they are priced now. If anything I believe its a good short- long term value play. If youre looking for a really clean one my local dealer just got in a 2k mile Mineral Grey GTS. They're a really good small town dealership to work with and the deals can be great.

No matter what GTS you go with I would definitely pick one up sooner rather than later. As warmer weather approaches the deals will disappear.

Curious what happened with this. I was waffling between a M2C, M4GTS, or a lower trim 991, and I'm quite happy with the M4GTS ~6 months later. The car is almost exclusively my track toy/weekend toy, and it perfectly fulfills that role. It has a lot of adjustments that can be made, especially once the almost mandatory camber plates have been installed.

My only complaint is that without a front-axle lift, the front splitter can be borderline annoying entering/exiting any parking lots or parking decks. If I move to a GT3RS at some point, I think a front-axle lift will be a mandatory option.
