BMWphiles across The States are thrilled that BMW will be sending some units of the all-new M4 GTS here. The only problem is that only 300 vehicles will make our shores. Considering 700 M4 GTS' are to be built, that's actually a significant allocation.
This M4 has more power than ever, has dropped weight and features a nifty water injection system to keep it cool.
Starting at about double the price of the standard M4 you have to ask yourself if the OEM power boost and exclusivity are worth it to your blue and white pumping hearts.
To help you along with that decision, Agent 001 made sure to spend some time in and around the all-new M4 GTS. Check it out, below!
