M3/M4 [Official] BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe

^ So how many airbags come standard, and how many are optional?

I'd say a couple of them are retrofit items.

The two front ones are not standard for sure. I wonder how deep of a hole those front ones will leave in your wallet.

[Mr Robert]

No.

I seen quite a few now. What strikes me most is how big it is. Makes the weight even more remarkable.

Lightweight BMW M4 GTS spied?

A mysterious BMW M4 Coupe has been spied on the Nürburgring.

While the car is wearing MotoGP safety car stickers, our spy photographer believes the model is actually a lightweight version of the M4 Coupe. Nothing is official but the car does appear different than the current MotoGP safety car.

The changes are relatively minor but include a bigger front spoiler and a fixed rear wing. The prototype also features Recaro seats but those could simply be for testing purposes.

BMW has downplayed the possibility of an M4 CSL but rumors have suggested they will offer an M4 GTS in 2016. That particular model is slated to feature additional carbon fiber and aluminum components which could enable it to tip the scales at less than 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs). The car is also rumored to have a sportier suspension and a stripped out interior with lightweight racing seats.

That was quick!

 

[Mr Robert]

That wing is a major "no-no".

 

[SCOTT27]

Yes its the GTS. Its progress on the M4 - More Carbon , More power and increased dynamics. But Less weight.

I've just got back from the Nurburgring and I saw this car pounding the circuit all day. It was one of the quickest cars out there. The exhaust seemed louder than normal too. In fact, I believe these photos were taken this morning as I saw that Range Rover in front of it too. I know the roundabout this was taken from and I saw two photographers there at lunch time.

I would have paid more attention to the car if I new it was an M4 GTS!!

Hmmm... Range Rover SVR?

It wasn't disguised at all and it didn't sound like anything special. Looked like a standard Range Rover.

But did it sound better?

 

[Betty Swollocks]

Yes.

To be honest, even the standard M3s and M4s going around with standard exhausts didn't sound too bad. Crucially I didn't see any E92 M3s today.

M4 sounds fantastic full throttle on the Ring. Indeed t does.

Now bring on that M4 GTS. Give it 100 hp extra and make it weigh 100 kg less. Thanks a lot.

If it gets 100hp extra, and is 100kg less, then it will 100,000 big ones more expensive too!

 

[Mr Robert]

At least 100 big ones, but yeah.

Lol Klier, why not 200HP/200kilos? The car is already making ~470 HP according to most dynos. I don't think it needs anymore. Weight is interesting. There is some easy gains to be made - bucket seats, stripped out inside, thinner glass surfaces, CF hood maybe. Beyond that it is going to be difficult and expensive. The car is already light for it's size. Think about it, despite being a proper 2+2/4 seater based on bog 3er, M3/4 is as light/lighter than the AMG GT - a much more expensive dedicated 2 seater sports car.

Not impressed with the exhaust note.
