Purchased my first BMW today - M4GTS. Have been following this car for some time and actively searching for about 3mo. Finally found a 1 owner, 3800mi car near me and locked it up today. Our family has spent more time desert racing and road racing motorcycles so cars like this are new to us. Excited to spend time with my son in it and explore auto racing.

Would very much be interested in connecting with enthusiasts in LA that are doing weekend drives and track days.

Thank you all!

Congrat that's a rare find enjoy the car.

I looked at that on Friday, it was nice. Did they give you the orange splitter for the front end, looks like they took it off when they painted the nose and forgot to put it on.

Congrats.

Congrats on the new toy! Enjoy

They did not - I will check in with them on that.

Very cool! Dad of the year getting the GTS. Enjoy!

spidy512 · 03-20-2023, 10:14 AM

Howdy,

I remember when my Dad brought home his 912 when I was just getting into cars (I think I was 5ish). The smell, the noise it made. Priceless memories for me.

Congrats on an epic first BMW! Have fun!

Love this. One of my favorite things about cars has become my daughter’s excitement/reaction during the first drive. Congrats on the GTS!

Congrats.

anthemavm Had a quick question - when you checked out the M4 GTS and Fletcher jones Audi did someone from the dealership tell you that the nose area was repair ones at the dealership? I can’t send DMs yet so asking here

That was my observation, didn't get a chance to talk to anyone.

If you can pull the photos from the website, you can see a difference in color and the missing orange splitter made me think someone left a driveway to fast or hit a parking stop.

Wouldn't be worried it was in a accident, just a dealer trying to make it look best for a sale.

Understood thanks!

First day at the track in the bag. Was wild and a ton of fun. The needle is in deep on this one.
