March 2020

Picked up a 2016 M4 GTS from BMW Markham just before the world shutdown... got for the same price as a new CS so why not get the real deal! Tracked this GTS VIN and looks like the original owner is a member on this forums. Originally a car from Vancouver and bounced around a few dealerships to Ontario. Had 3500 km on the odo. Car arrived bone stock aside from OEM CF mirror caps.

April 2020

Installed some interior mods first:

- Autotecknic acid orange paddle shifters
- Autotecknic acid orange DCT surround
- M Performance CF steering wheel trim w/ acid orange accent
- M Performance CF shifter knob
- CF vinyl wrap on some piano black trim pieces
- IND custom floor mats
- Pedal Haus brushed black pedal set
- Ceramic leather coating





Interior is still missing the fire extinguisher and I will possibly swap the competition seats for some two tone Recaro

May 2020

We added Air Blue (ceramic tint) all around the GTS because we wanted to show off the beautiful interior. Also added decent heat rejection. Sometimes we want to be seen instead . Instead of PPF we decided to do a full colour change. Although I do really like the frozen grey paint, I needed to protect it ASAP. The colour is red wine. Our shop will be changing colours yearly for advertising so this is temporary. Wheels are spray wrapped in a nice gunmetal pearl. Both wraps have been ceramic coated. Goal is to keep our GTS mod reversible for resale in the future...







Still lots more on the way..

Wow, awesome. Congrats on the purchase and love the mods already done. The red wine wrap is definitely cool and unique.

The wrap looks amazing, nice touch on the wheels too.
Time to hit track.

The wrap looks so good it probably comes with its own fan club.

Congrats!

I hope you don’t mind a respectful negative opinion, but i really don’t like the wrap. Car was much better stock. Maybe I’m biased because i have a FG GTS

The interior, however, is ON POINT

Wrap will come off this winter once I get the new wheels on there.. probably only enjoy FDG for a month or two in the spring before a new colour is chosen for the following season lol.

New headlights. The first and only non-reversible mod going on my GTS. At least it has a OEM+ touch. Kept all the stock rings, blacked out housing and added acid orange brow.
