Totally agree. The GTS is a huge step in the right direction. Read more

Oh thats cool! Its priced between the two and not as rare? Maybe I’ll get to actually run one at a track! Read more

See I don’t mind the center mounts, but don’t like the swan mounts even though I know they are more effective. Just personal preference I guess. Read more

Awesome! I missed Doug’s video, but I’ll check it out. That’s kind of the difference between me and other writers. I generally build and race cars instead of researching and writing about them. So when I look under a car and I notice strange cool things right away. I don’t need to wait for the press team to explain Read more

Right on! Those races were so much fun. I need to come back and do some more Lemons races for sure. We have a 750IL we’re prepping this summer. I think its probably tooling too, but what required the change to the upright over the regular M4? I would love to know exactly what they changed! Is it just castor? Different Read more

Have you ever owned one of those cars? Its fun tech, but I would take real triple adjustable shocks every day over anything magnetic. I been daily driving a 997 with it and its not really good at anything. I was in an RS this morning and we were laughing at the magnetic shocks and how it was like no damping or there Read more

Yeah I really liked the GTS. Kind of wish I had stayed in finance after driving it. Read more

You could easily buy an M4, have Dinan do its $12k for 100hp deal and buy a set of triple adjustable KW’s for $6k. Another $6k on the akropovic exhaust. Gut the interior and buy some carbon($10k?) and you would be pretty close. But it wouldn’t be a GTS. You could also swap a turbo LS motor into an E36 and fit huge Read more

Yeah I still feel that way unfortunately. And BMW is going to produce 40 new models and variants by 2018?!?!?! The GTS really blew my mind though. The car is awesome. Even the door pulls which sucked where amazing. And seriously thought that part of BMW was gone. Like they had to crush their soul up to make the Read more

Its really interesting that everyone suggests buying the GT3 when they are such different cars. The owner of the GTS has a GT3 parked next to it. He has both and uses them very differently. Read more

Yeah I’m a finance guy that’s still learning to race cars and write. So I don’t really know the difference between typeface and font but that makes sense. I was looking at the dash as the Grand Tour came out. Both in orange. Both in high performance cars. And the first thing I thought of was the Grand Tour. So maybe Read more

I hear you can’t order them any more and people are paying $12k per wheel for them yeah you could buy the Camaro for the price of the wheels... think about that for a second. Read more

Yeah Im a bit torn on the clutch too. It just doesn’t feel like that kind of car. Sure you’re connected to road and it feels like a race car, but there’s something very luxurious about this car. Its actually pretty mellow in its regular driving modes and you could drive to work with a cup of coffee and not lose your Read more

Thanks! Sorry was up in canyons driving today! Just getting to comments. As heeltoehero said. Its that big chunk of metal the wheel and brakes spin on that is attached to the suspension! Read more

That’s always been the case. BMW drivers are some the most loyal car buyers I know. Well they used to be I guess. A lot have Porsche’s now... But the history of the brand and its motorsport activities and how it translated into the sport sedan creates a pretty passionate following. It did for me when I was getting Read more

You’re pretty spot on. My friend has a GT3 in the garage next to the GTS. They’re very different cars, not replacements for each other. My hunch is the no back seat thing is that a lot of the M4 buyers like the larger roomier cabin. I know I do. As I mentioned above Ive been daily driving a 911 and Im cramped in the Read more

They are such different cars that I never once made the comparison in my head. Yeah the Camaro is 1/3 of the price. So is the hard plastic dash. I think the real issue is what the hell is the GTS and what is really for? Because I was exactly like you guys. Screw that marketing exercise, I don’t even want to drive it. Read more

Throw your life away and do nothing but play with cars! BUILD RACE PARTY! Read more

Hopefully we’ll start to get race track keys that are never to be used on the street, but get rid of every driver aid for racetrack use! Read more
