mistakes make us wiser. My was the M4 GTS. Because of its small M4-brother, I already knew and introduced me to a fun Ride on the race track. Big brothers but are, unfortunately, mercilessly when it comes to the family honour.

Still at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, I beg your pardon. In the future, I keep my stupid mouth shut.

Now BMW strikes back

in other words: The Bavarian super sports is a Declaration of war. After Mercedes with the AMG C 63 S Coupé is a Stealth Bomber full of GT-had hunted Features on the road were BMW disappointed Fans. BMW

The Swabian M4-brought a competitor to the 70 HP more power, and waited with uncompromising innovations from the world of Motorsport. In this Segment, the star was in the lead. Until now. Because of the high-bred M4 GTS is a worthy opponent in a duel the racing car approved for the road.
