Pros: Looks very stable and planted. Looks very exciting to drive fast. Minimal body roll and it almost looks lighter (impossible to see) by the way it moves on the track.

Cons: Sounds slightly better that all M4s including performance exhausts. But unfortunately it still sounds like farting and making a mess in your pants.

Verdict: I love it!

Green///Hell · 05-29-2015, 02:53 PM

Less tire squeal is obviously due to the compound, theres no way those are the PSS

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

The bigger wing actually looks a lot better. More proportional to the rest of the car, than the smaller wing. Test drivers must have been looking for more rear end stability in high speed corners.

Falafel Combo · 05-29-2015, 03:15 PM

Super bad! Almost non-existent body roll! The thing moves sideways on hard cornering, but that's about it!

Further proof that a 0:26 YouTube clip will prevent almost no one from making arching conclusions.

Also, just because it's a GTS does not automatically make it sound better. This sounds like any other MPE I've heard. Not sure what you were hearing.

Everyone's opinion on the M4's exhaust is just that an opinion. And we are al entitled to have our own. That's why you hear so many people saying they love the M4 exhaust and an equal amount (myself included) that thinks it sounds like farting. Will that stop me the M4 from being my next car? No. But the point is from the clip it still sounds like crap. IMO.

Rear Wheel is this one:

Availiable in 19" and 20", but white I think only in 20" !

I thought that the M4 did it in 7:52, not 7:50... Every second counts!! And no doughnuts before trying to get fast track times...

cant wait to see the GTS VS GT4 comparisons.

Jealous lol I want to travel to Germany to run the ring! Hopefully one day

The 7:50 was on stock Super Sport tires, correct? Over 13 miles and almost 8 minutes you could probably shave 10 seconds off a bone stock M3/M4 just by swapping the stock rubber for Sport Cup 2's. Which this car is almost certainly going to have, plus lower weight, more power, and a revised suspension.

Pirelli Super Trofeos please

RocketBoots · 05-29-2015, 05:09 PM

The bigger the wing the bigger the price

lsturbointeg · 05-29-2015, 05:19 PM

Like everyone's gonna start rocking the bigger wings LOL! Unless ur gonna be on the track than yes! It's like 2fast2furious all over again.

Drive4Fun · 05-29-2015, 05:28 PM

Legit!

I like the wing so much I may install 2 of them. One atop the other

to be honest, I'm not a fan of such a large wing, unless for track use only.

ChrisMT79 · 05-29-2015, 05:46 PM

Wow, that does look incredibly planted and sounds pretty amazing as well! That down shift before the curve made me feel warm and tingly

TahoeM3 · 05-29-2015, 05:47 PM

Awesome.

Hopefully that wing is for track use only.
