Default BMW M4 GTS pictures

Had to meet a client at a local BMW dealership and this is what they had on the floor. Just figured I post up some pictures the car and person looks pretty neat. My question is how does BMW get away with a roll bar in the states?


Pretty cool carbon fiber roof

Rollbar is DOT approved.

And as for the looks, I got an up close look at the M4 GTS at last year's LA Auto Show and came away less than impressed. In fact, came away feeling it looked like something out of the early Fast & Furious movies -- like a poser JDM kit car.

I remember Porsche guys giving me so much **** for my Hamann Comp spoiler on my e46 m3. This looks like an after thought of a wing. The hood is ridiculous with the "POWER" bumps. I'm sure some love it. Bet it does look better in person. Hope to see one and then I may change my opinion.

Thanks for the photos!

You mean with all the panel gaps and the bent hood? Total quality for $130-150k

All the magazines seem to have less than positive things to say about it

I have one here with my dealer. Anyone interested email me at steven@goagi.com

No horse in this race, they wanted 50k over which I think is ridiculous so I passed.

Makes the GT3RS with dropping mark-ups seem like a really good deal now. SMH.
