M4 GTS Ring Time Revealed !

That thing looks ugly as he'll wheels off a pontiac trans am

[E46CSL]

The CSL was 60k to the 80k for the 996 GT3.

So £122k plays about the same for the 991 GT3 & £145k for the 991RS (if you can get one).

I'd prefer to buy the 911. And I do like BMW's

You would be right in the case of the E92 GTS but I believe the M4 GTS is much more bespoke car than the E92 version. Much like the CSL. Not to mention the giant power hike from the stock M4.

There are many CSL touches here and there, like being offered in sb and grey, Alcantara seats, dash and consoles, bespoke door cards etc...

P.S. Love the M color details on the door pulls and seat belts...

Are the UK cars going to be available in RHD?

Hi Mike

This Autocar article does cite the 30 UK examples as being RHD.

"Just 700 examples of the M4 GTS will be offered for sale. Of these, 30 will make it to the UK in right-hand-drive form. Despite the car’s £121,770 starting price, BMW said it has had more expressions of interest than available cars."

Power from a blown motor is so easy. I bumped my GTR by a few pipes and a map by 120bhp. Cost like nothing. Door cards, E92 GTS had them also, dash /console etc simple to do nowadays.

Look at the aero etc. Cheap exercise. Compare that to the 458 speciale. Now that is a proper engineering exercise.

///M is not what it use to be. Its loosing its touch big time, but its not a bad product. Just the competition is all over it and some even exceed it by order and magnitude.

I agree dude, Firebird lives again!!

I guess with flatline Europena markets these cars are tailored for other cultures?

Just had call from Dealer, the first 30 were snapped up within minutes.
I placed deposit c.a. 10.00am, and didn't make the list.
Somehow I think it was all done beforehand, as dealer only got info that morning. Seeing as PH had published all the info seems to confirm this.
They are waiting to see if anyone drops out, slim chance!
BMW said to the dealer they could have sold 90, not sure why they didn't, the limited numbers with all the cost of that development must make it difficult to break even.

Still not as good looking as the CSL
