Alredy now I playing with my new stickerwrap for GTS when going to first trackay @nurburgring.

Captain unknown who need a GT3 will go on GTS, it will fit perfekt on there as well.

Other than that I was thinking something like this text...(just for fun playing with words)

# Yes, we know its rice uggly and all that, lucky me, from where I sitt i dont see it. And hey, dont be to happy if you outlap me on track, i am just out of distilled water😂 #

The reviews are good and I actually like the 'bastardized sedan' look. Fun and fast is a good combo. Based on US price, it should be compared to the GT3 rather than RS. From that standpoint, I think the GTS is pretty compelling, though I wouldn't necessarily trade my GT3 for one (but it would be nice have both!).

This could not get close to M4 GTS laptime on Nur(my guess). Its same pork, 1510kg car, 440hp.





Gee I dont know, reminds me of the blue Honda car with can on the tailpipe. Well If its more go than show, i could consider to like it
Still looks cool. Its 150 made @ 234.000 usd. In the end I think al them vings looks like slightly riced up, its what they are of course. Even in my gt4 i kind of feel riced up when on the od city drive to get a coffe. http://http://www.evo.co.uk/aston-ma...v8-vantage-yet

Would i rather rice up my Gts to next level...




Yes, if I like eating the od early beakfast in pit, using my ving as a table. Thats a bit to much downforce right there no (if on Gts). Well anything fly at Nur. But to buy the od coffe mid city in this, mhe..

The GT3 (non RS) has always reminded me of this:

This looks a bit riced up to far in the air. It becuse it is I guess?!





No comment on that panamera...thing





Uhhm, guys..i dont really know? Sure its funktion over form but still, could we call that wing something it would not be pretty i guess. I stick to my opinion, all race cars are not pretty, they even look riced up as they accually are. A normal 911R well that looks more like it to me, no ving, that thing hit the street like a king as well do god on track. To bad I did not get one, was in line. That thing you could even grab a coffe city center without hiding.

In automobile engineering they have different people and departments that are in charge of different systems on a car. Some are in charge with the engine,some design the cooling system,some the braking system etc. In order to have a successful product,there are many factors that come into play : you can't just design a coolant expansion tank for example without checking the clearance inside the engine compartment or whether it affects the outside design(whether it interferes with channeling the air for cooling let's say). Everything has to work with each other.
Porsche talks about function over form,but before signing off a production car,it still has to look right.

My point is,BMW's engineering and design departments have built the M4 from the ground up to look and perform a certain way. By the looks of the GTS,it seems that they have never taken into account adding this wing/diffuser and front splitter. That is why they look like afterthoughts bolt ons.

They all talk function over form.

We all think diffrent. You and many think Porsche departement is giving out pretty cars. Others dont think so, they like Old Jaguar, thats pretty to them.

I dont even consider cars as pretty. I dont buy cars based on that at all. We all diffrent and thats ok in the end.

I always see German DTM, this due to I like the looks of standard car siluett going fast. I kind of grew up looking at DTM live and on tv. I guess thats why GTS is to my liking, it dont need to be pretty or looking nice to me. To me a sportscar dont need to be built from scartch. I am all ok that M or others make one track-car out of the vanilla 4 series, accually i like that whole thing. That the vanilla base car out lap most reall sportscars if you like.




Still, those cars is not pretty, looks riced up to Max. I like pretty things, but this is not it i my world. But its ***** out fun anyway





Thats me inside BMW VIP pit DTM 2015@Nur GP track, i guess since Seeing to much DTM in my childhood Made me like cars like M4 GTS even Its not pretty in my eyes, the last thing it need to be is pretty or nice looking. But it need to delivery on track, and it accually do that pretty god.





Thats a leaf blower, it not pretty, but its function on a hot day:-). They al use them





Riced up cars, function over form/looks. Just like GTS, M dont care. I dont care as long as its the real deal, i could drive a Pink GTS on track.

The hardest part about owning this car would be deciding whether to do a Shriner's wrap or Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey...

for the price you're going to have to pay to get one, now that everyone is freaking out about it being the best M car ever, I'm sure you can get any wrap you want. I'm guessing these are going to be selling for 20K+ over a GT3, and making their lucky owners a good little profit.

The fun part of beeing on track in terms of golfcourse and racetrack is you get away with almost anything. On first Tee you can look like a pimp, pink pants strange shoes and hat, even A ciggar in mouth. Anything flyes on the golfcourse, same at racetrack. You could show up with a kitchen table glued to the rear of you car at nur, most would not even notice. They see some wild **** down there. Except the TUV regulations guys watcing entrace to track. They could stop you to enter if you go to wild.☺️

Even my Old M3 E46 CSL hardly got notice down there, and It had artcar wrap.





At the time we drove 265 cup in front, stock was 235. Due to that encanced griplevels and pressure I blew my steering servo pump Hose. <br/>Even wheel beering I did wear out! And it happen faster when tuning a car on grip like that vs if on stock. Something to think about all GT4 owners tuning their cars. <br/>Finaly BMW now deliver GTS on 265 front, we like. But that car is developed for 265 front so will handle well in terms of wear to car.
