DRIVEN: 2016 BMW M4 GTS - What Strikes More Fear In The Heart, Raw Power Or The Price?

BMW has always offered faster, more focused versions of its M3 coupé, generally built in limited numbers and often costing much more than the base model. It started with the E30 M3 Sport Evo in 1990 and here it’s the turn of the current car – now known as the M4, of course.

Just 700 units will be sold worldwide (with 30 coming to the UK), but they’ll be special. The M4 GTS is uprated to nearly 500bhp, and its top speed of 190mph makes it the fastest production BMW
 ever. All of this goes some way towards justifying its £121,770 price – more than double that of a standard M4.

£120k? That is squarely in R8 V10 territory. Yikes.... Which would I rather have? For me, an R8 V10 is much more desirable than any BMW with an add-on Carbon wing.

The price is dumb. This car is not that competitive in that price range.

Add about $50k premium on top of MSRP

While I agree that there are cars in the price range that are more desirable and better - we are talking a few dozen cars in the USA - and they are probably already sold out.

They're not only already sold out, but most dealers have a waiting list.

2X the price of an M4? #MORONIC

Get an M4 and a Stingray, I say.
