has been present car New BMW M4 GTS 2016 review
BMW has always offered more targeted to your M3 coupe, usually built in limited numbers and often cost much more than the base model faster versions. It started with the E30 M3 Sport Evo in 1990 and here is the return of the current car - now known as M4, of course.
Only 700 units will be sold worldwide (with 30 coming in the UK), but they'll be special. The M4 is uprated to 500bhp GTS narrow, and its top speed of 190 mph making it faster production of BMWAlready. All this goes in the direction that justifies its price of £ 121,770 - more than twice that of a standard M4.

This car is terribly expensive then, but it's not a trick of engineering going on under the skin. The engine is a twin-turbo inline six-cylinder with the same internal components as the standard engine in the car, but an innovative water injection system, turbo can operate at higher pressures and generate more power boost.

The engine is much stronger and has a reasonably high top end for a turbo unit, but are not fireworks on the red line that made the previous generation M3 GTS a delight. At least the new titanium exhaust system gives this model much more aggressive than the vocal character of the basic version.
If the M4 GTS proves to be as capable on the road as it is on the circuit, which will remain as the best car of BMW M for a generation.
