The M4 GTS was limited to 700 units worldwide with just 30 coming to the UK and sold out as soon as it was announced.
The fastest production BMW ever with a 190mph top speed, it easily outpaces almost any other BMW you care to mention, most of which are limited to 155mph.
It follows in a long line of faster and more focussed versions of BMW’s M3 coupe – including the E30 M3 Sport Evo, the E46 M3 CSL and the E92 M3 GTS – and it adheres to the same formula of more power, less weight and sharper driving dynamics.
The standard car’s 3-litre twin turbo straight six is carried over almost wholesale, albeit with one crucial upgrade. A water injection system sprays a fine mist directly into the air chamber to reduce intake temperatures, which has enabled BMW’s engineers to turn up boost pressures giving up to 493bhp.
The engineers at BMW’s M division focussed their attentions on the chassis and weight reduction adding three-way adjustable coilovers, thicker anti-roll bars retuned suspension specifically for the GTS.
Combined with the bucket seats, harnesses and suede-trimmed steering wheel the chassis upgrades give the GTS much of the precision and immediacy of a competition car. It feels a world apart from the standard M4.
And it sounds simply epic. The titanium exhaust gives the M4 GTS an entirely different sonic character to the base model with a loud, crackling exhaust note under full throttle. It sounds positively bombastic on the road when the powertrain is in Sport or Sport+ mode. It also feels really light. The weight saving compared to a standard M4 might only amount to 30kg, but such is the increase in agility that it feels more like 300kg. The balance is also tremendously confidence inspiring in that way that a front-engined rear-wheel drive car should be.
