I'm sure it is fun on the track but so is the P car which btw I would pick over this all day. In the looks dept to me it looks like a young ricer went nuts at the local pep boys.
Maybe it's the wing or the wheels idk

GTS

I hate it; the front spoiler, the wheels, and the wing...
Come on, you are BMW, you can do better...
If I had one I'd take replace those three elements immediately and replace them with much better looking ones which are plenty out there...

This is not a show car.
You can buy a 420i and spend the money on cosmetics. Same platform. Not the same results on track
Also, those who are interested to buy this car would like to have some real fun with it, not just spending money on non performance stuff

Based on historical data, will BMW make that hood available to the rest of us? Only concern would be water getting into the engine bay through that vent...but looks gorgeous!

From an aero performance stand-point, the GTS wing design is probably as good as it gets.

They play out much better in person. Reminds you it's a little playful as its for the track. I hated wheels too before seeing them but as a total package it works IMO. Although it was next to an X6M so anything looks pretty next to that.

I am surprised that not one person seems to care that there isn't a manual option. I for one prefer the dual clutch but I imagine there are a number of enthusiasts that would prefer a manual. I guess with the GT3 not being available in a manual people have gotten past that.

Not necessarily IMO, coz this m4 is focused on fastest laps and not driving pleasure.

Track oriented = gtr, gt3, m4 gts = dct
Driver oriented = 1M, Porsche 911R = manual

Accually the CSL did have it, it was ap 1400 csl Made and as I know it Ap. 85% of all them cars had klima and PDC and stereo. I guess BMW did learn from that as at the time you could have a delet option but as most hade klima etc. Well I guess thats Why Gts got It For standard.
