Introducing the 2016 BMW M4 GTS with 500 HP and 7:28 Nurburgring lap time

[Arcades]

They just straight up slapped Alcantara all over the interior lol.

Well played BMW

[snaimpally]

Very nice. Hopefully, the aftermarket will take the water cooling kit parts and adapt it for other BMWs.

Um can we say this car is a beast?

[ASAP]

Anyone else notice the AC is manual?

Also, those door straps... w door handles

Then it has no mirror speakers but it has a Navi?

I think this car would look 20x better if they simply took the ugly orange off the wheels and the lip.

I honestly just don't know what some of these people in charge are thinking.

[SakhirM4]

With all the weight savings, it has full leather for dash and door tops.

[DCG]

Looks and sounds wicked! But it needs more carbon fiber accents exterior and interior. Their is to much chrome bits, would have preferred blacked-out wheels and carbon fiber interior bits instead of plastic chrome.

I love the wheels and would like to see them in black. Otherwise the interior looks great.

Awesome performance. It is a strange mix of race oriented parts and street luxury parts. I guess it's hard to sell a $100k+ car without Nav these days.
I prefer the BBS FI to the odd orange rims that must clash with some of the interesting F8x colors like YMB.

That's why the GTS doesn't come in any colors - just black, white and two grays.

The Nav is much more then just navigation these days, it gives specs on the car,

Also, what everyone doesnt realize is that this car in general isn't offered without it nor so to redesign a dash would make no sense to bmw.

The Nav in this series car probably doesn't add much more weight anyway based on the size of all the equipment

If was the 2016 GT350R with the flat plane crank I may retract that comment

Too much coin.... Get an M4, add the bits you want... Profit and go home to spank the M4 GTS.

And how much is an M3/M4 in the UK vs. US?
It's not a straight conversion pounds to dollar conversion. We'll see how they price it here.

I'd prefer to just buy the car.

I LOVE that color, but the orange, imo, just doesn't work. If I ever had the $$$$ to own this beast, first think that would be changed, followed closely by the wheels. I bet this thing is a hoot!

[Blatman]

Have my JB4, downpipes and meth in the garage just need my GTS now!

I compared the figures. DIN weight of a M4 with DKG is 1537kg

It's in three sections actually (Flugplatz, Schwedenkreuz, Döttinger Höhe), although one of them - Döttinger Höhe - is irrelevant during Touristenfahrten as it's blocked anyway due to the barriers. It is however relevant for races or track days. At least during the former the speed limits are very much enforced.

There are no speed limits during the industry pool driving, so this is probably where BMW drove the alleged 7:28 time.

[SGLL66]

Just placed order and it came to £123,880.00.

Extras are limited to -

Sun Pro Rear Windows
Speed Limit Display
Internet
On-Line Entertainment
HUD
Carbon Fibre Interior Package

Carbon brakes, CS package and GTS upholstery are no cost options.

Of course they do. Point has been proven quite a few times now, the M5 CP is just one among several. And they're not alone in that, Porsche does it as well.

As for the whole under-rated discussion, from what I've seen it's mainly a difference in dyno calibrations between Europe and the US which are significant. The F8x dynos (Europe) I've seen are all within a typical 5% margin that is used to allow for differences in variables.

That's about 168k EUR right now. Or about double the price of a "normal" M3. Hmmm...

How would you even check the oil?

Exactly. So with a 21km total length, that's only a small portion where the 2 relevant pieces are also connected.

Still funny to see signs of speed limit 250km/h. Wish we had those on the highway.

As was posted previously, the straps replace the handles to close the door. The handle is needed to open (unlatch) the door.

This is contrary to what was done on the GT3, where the straps replace the handles that open (unlatch) the door.
