2016 BMW M4 GTS Testing with Bigger Rear Wing on the Nurburgring

[RingMeister01]

I'm all about that wing.

[evobeatsti]

will probably have more agressive tires as well, maybe pilot cups? thats good for 5- 10 seconds on the ring alone

[Richy Rich]

Can I put my order in?

[Xtabi]

I'm going to wait for the refreshed wing...

[aussiem3]

Couldn't stop watching it. Truly balance.

[Powerslide]

I'm going to predict 7:37 Nordschleife

[mc3456]

Are those rear fenders flared?

[RingMeister01]

But will Individual paint be available?

I really like through the left right quick corner you see how fast it changes direction without upsetting the balance or body at all. This thing looks way more composed already

When will you be getting one?

[raysspl]

This is exciting

Looks like the regular M4 rear quarter panels - just hard to tell with refrigerator white and sunlight glare.

The LCI? LOL. :

Looks good but I'd still take the new Viper ACR over this any day of the week. Lower cost and will absolutely destroy this m4 gts on any track.

It's a track version of the M4. It only has one mission, too be as fast as it can on the track while still being street legal. The M4 fills the niche of being a good value sporty but practical and reasonably comfortable and luxurious street car that can do track duty. The GTS does not need to adhere in the same extent to those compromises. A huge wing is expected since down force ( and good track tires ) will make best use of the M4s power curve to improve the average speed around a track. There's enough power to not let the added drag bring down top speed too much on most tracks and the wing will help catapult the car early out of turns. This thing will be a surprise to revcrazy and his crowd I love how it looks on the track, exciting.

Nope. Revcrazy will just tell you how much better the Porshe 918 is for only 7 times the price

well he did say the GTS will have 450 hp so there will be some level of surprise, of course he will not want to talk about that and start babbling about the 918, luckily I no longer need to read about it.

[vladberca]

Really impressive from these clips!

[Jay-K]

Godly

[RingMeister01]

@SCOTT26 can you chime in with any hints to this beast?

[N & M]

Moves beautifully but BMW is cutting edge in every area except aero; when will we see the introduction of proper active aero into its performance cars?

Please no washboard wings.

Exactly. You don't see that kind of wing on a 458 speciale, and it looks silly on this car. A good pronounced rear lip spoiler like the one on the Z06 and other active aero bits would look much better and would provide plenty of downforce.
