I considered M4 GTS as one ugly ricer until I saw it in person. Standard matt grey with orange details.
I have to say it really looks times better in person than on photos. The only thing that doesn't fit the rest is the rear spoiler. Rear OLED lights are fantastic!
The BMW is not a pretry car- seen it live- no interest. But, respect to what they have done. It is a very very competent sedan with a Wing- and I am not being malicious

hmmm... where I am from the M4s are coupes, I haven't seen the sedan version.
You may want to steer clear of the GTS' when you get your GT4.
"Here’s the good news: This is the best BMW I’ve ever driven. Quick ways to describe the M4 GTS: playful, progressive, predictable, confidence-inspiring, balanced, tight, and most important, fun. I can’t stress that last descriptor enough: fun. Remember when cars were fun? Someone at M does, too. As the numbers all attest, the GTS is capable, as well. On one lap I snuck a peek at the speedometer at the end of the front straight and saw 155 mph. Yes, I stomped hard on the big carbon-ceramic brakes and shed enough speed to make the corner. Many cars could have done what I accomplished in the GTS, but I’m hard-pressed to think of many that would have left as big a smile on my face. Why so big? Because of the way the M4 GTS yawed its way through the corner. Not just that corner, but all the corners. The GTS offered up the perfect mix of slip angle and traction; I always felt in control even though the car didn’t feel rigidly bolted down the way the regular, not so fun M4 does. Also of note, unlike the regular M4, the power curve isn’t flat, and it doesn’t plateau. Instead, it actually peaks, which just feels so much better. Oh, and it sounds five times better. Maybe 10. Bottom line, the new GTS is an incredibly impressive machine. It’s sweet. I’m calling it sweet. I really dig it man, big time."

Herein lies the problem. It used to be that all these attributes applied to "plain jane" M-cars. Now you only get them if you jump thru the ultra-expensive, ultra-limited GTS hoops...... And then you're still left with the styling......
I'm a BMW fan and owned eight including M-cars over the past decade, but the current line-up does little for me and this challenge in finding anything that appeals is reflected in sales data. Hope they regain their mojo soon.
